We feed our puppy 4 times a day since she is a tiny eater, and she weighs 3.5 lbs now. We found that warming the food works fairly well and also we've tried various flavors. She doesn't like the same flavor two days in a row. I have also had to actually make a trail of food from her to the dish in order to get her to actually eat out of the dish. I start by letting her lick the spoon, then I make a little trail with bits of food (sometimes I have to do it twice or three times), then I sort of act uninterested and she wanders casually over to the dish and eats.
I've also done the competition thing using our cat to get her to eat as well.
