Is this okay?

The first day Wobie was home, he did not eat a thing, and I assumed it was because he was so stressed. He refused Nutrical also (but I gave it to him anyway). He still doesn't eat very well, and I know he's not stressed out anymore, he acts totally normal, except for not eating well. At the breeders, he had been weaned and on dry food for quite a while. However, now he will not touch his dry food.

To get him to eat, I soak his dry food in water and pedialyte until its soft. Then I mash it up until its like thick and soupy, and feed it to him out of a spoon or off my finger. He won't eat by himself. I still supplement with Nutrical, which he likes now, because I worry that he isn't eating enough.

Do you think he'll eventually eat his hard food? I always have it out for him, but he has never touched it. Is it okay to feed him like this?

My baby Roxy was picky when we first brought her home. We make her a supplement gruel mixture of Nutrical and a protein powder the breeder provided. She absolutely loves it. How old is your puppy? Mine was 4 months when I got her and is teething so she eats off and on. I would say give it some time and it sounds like what you're doing is right. Depending on the age, it could be a teething problem. I would consult your vet just to make sure. Hope it helps!
