Oscar loves yogurt... and eggs (scrambled or hard boiled) he goes nuts for that stuff. There are lots of things you can try though... Oscar is extremely picky as well, but you can't cater too much because they'll LEARN and get worse. If he knows he'll get something good (people food) if he doesn't eat his own food (kibble or what not) then he'll continue to be picky and hold out for something better. I got Oscar at 4 mths and he was quite picky at first... I tried various canned foods, but he just turned up his nose, or he'd get bored after one or two days of it. Baby food works well for us - have you tried using different flavors (Lamb, Chicken, etc.). I've also heard about sprinkling a little bit of parmesan cheese on their kibble and mixing it with a little water...

I've also given him carrots (nice to chew on especially when he's teething and a bone is too hard). Apparently they really love their fruits and vegetables, you just have to be careful that you don't give them anything too acidic.

I still think some form of kibble in a dog's diet is the best bet... Chicken Soup for the Puppy Lovers Soul has gotten pretty good reviews on here, as well as Nutro....

Just be careful about changing foods too often or too quickly, it can really upset their tummies.

sorry for the ridiculously long post...Good luck!
