My Moses is 7 months old. He is a picky eater, too. He is on his 4th kind of food. I switched him from Innovus to Nutro Ultra a couple of months ago. He stopped eating that while he was teething, so I decided to wet it down with warm water. His gums hurt, so he couldn't eat it dry! He is still pretty picky and will eat well for 2 days, then he gets picky again. He came home from daycare with an upset tummy and has been laying around all night! He finally just nibbled on his food and drank some water. But I am finding that he is NOTHING like my sweet Lab Bruno, who inhaled everything! It's been a real adjustment. I would try some moist food because your baby might be teething!

Welcome to you and Gabby!
Zoe was tough to feed also, but really likes Halo Puppy Spot's Stew. It's tiny and she continued to eat it, versus deciding she didn't like it after a time or two, like the others.
She will also always eat a few Little Jac treats.
(I will, however, admit to the fact that the only way she will eat is sitting on my lap, eating from my hand!

I think she is afraid the other dogs will get it--which they would--if she doesn't eat this way.)
Good luck!

Because we have 5 other dogs in the house. I take Mina to my dressing area in the morning to eat. She and I get some time alone,she gets her breakfast without anyone else trying to take it and I dont have to worry about her eating the other guys food. They get to eat while she is with me.

Norman is 4.5 months. He is eating the Royal Canin Yorkie Puppy kibble - he seems to like it. When he first came home and was a bit stressed I gave him access to kibble all of the time and then gave him Nutri Cal before bed. He is now a 'power eater'. He also will run anyone over that gets between him and a piece of broccoli, carrot, sweet potato, etc.

Good Mornin,

I did try the Halo Spots Stew a couple days ago, she ate it twice and now just ignores it. So this morning I am trying the Royal Canin Puppy with the Gerber Chicken baby food. She liked a little chicken off the kibble and now it sits. The good news is we have had her home for nine days now and her energy level seems good. It does seem like she is running the show already. Still having trouble downloading a pic...says the file is too big? Although I am just clicking on one pic from my computer..

Due to allergies my dog had to be put on a new dog food (after we looked for weeks for one she would eat). We were concerned she wouldn't eat the new food, but he simply said, "Don't worry, when she's hungry she'll eat it," and in no time, she did.
