| When my little "Princess" was only a few months old when we brought her home, she was a picky eater also. Our vet told me to get some soft food and mix with her puppy food. Make sure if your little pup is not eating to give Nutri Cal. This will help make sure the little pup is getting nutrients needed. You don't want the pup to get hypoglycemic from not getting enough nutrients. I bought puppy can food that had gravy in it to mix with dry food. Also it helps to moisten the dry food. I only feed "premium" foods that are bought from the local pet stores. |

| Might be teething, too. If you think it could be teething, some ice chips would feel good to feverish gums. Sharon suggested adding some canned food in and that is a great suggestion. You can even add some warm water to help. It is also possible that she doesn't like that particular kibble, whatever it is. You can try another.

| You might try raw food like Primal or Nature's Variety. My girl LOVES it and cleans her dish every time. Cherie

| Sprinke a bit of parmesan cheese on it - just a little and see what happens.

| Our Happy is not a puppy but finicky none the less, we slightly warm his canned food up (can't eat dry - teeth extraction) in the microwave - it is the one sure way for me to get him to eat, he seems to be able to smell the food better this way. |
