Puppy Feeding - Page 1

Hi i hope there is someone or people who can help me out, I recently bought a working female puppy i had first pick of the females and visited the breeder several time before i picked her and every time i visited this female always stood out. She is in perfect health and is already showing great attitude for work but the problem i'm having is this. She has little or no interest in eating anything, puppy nuts,adult nuts,raw meat mix,cooked meat mix. She is not too thin she just eats enough to get by. Ive seen her brother and sisters and they are all much heavier than her now. I would like to see her with a little more puppy fat i dont want it to effect her potential size.

All suggestions welcome!! 

If I was in your shoes, presuming she is passed fit and healthy by a vet, I would choose one food for her and persevere by leaving the food there for 15 minutes or so before removing it until next meal time. She'll soon learn that she has to eat it or go without. The more you allow her to dictate to you what she likes or dislikes the harder your life will be. Take control of her and teach her the feeding rules, she'll learn sooner than you think.

Best of luck.

Thanks for your reply! I was talking to a friend of mine too who told me to feed her with my older dog so if she doesnt eat it, he will so she'll learn herself, its basically the same as what your saying either way the food is gone until next feed.
Thanks again

Try feeding fewer times per day. For example, if you feed the puppy four meals in a day, try three. Good luck, and all the best with your puppy.
