You describe Gracie during her first year. She would not touch dog food of any kind. She would eat food I prepared for her as long it was fresh prepared...no left overs!
It seemed as though I had to "prime" her to get her eating. I would hand feed her to get her started and then she would eat on her own. I started studying pet foods and I have to say I can't blame her for not wanting to eat a lot of the common foods out there. I finally got her on a really good brand of commercial raw food that she loves. She has done very well on it. I wish I had known about it during her first 10 months.
It is very difficult dealing with the problem when they are small because you want to prevent hypoglycemia. Hope you find something that will work for your pups.
