Question Not eating much?

Teddy isn't eating an awful lot for a puppy,i had him at the vets last week because he kept been sick after he had eaten so the vet sugested he had a sensitivity to his food so he gave us some special food Royal canin for sensitive tummys and then some dry puppy food for when he had finished the other,so when i first gave it to him he woofed it down now he has decided that he doesn't like it and is very fussy with his food

Any ideas he is a 25 week old toy poodle.

lol. my hubby calls mia hoover. we have feed them on pedigree puppy food and we tried bakers puppy food, they prefer bakers.i feed them (well put food down for them) twice a day, now i do one feed dry and the other with a little water.i don't worry about them not eating all of their food because they are SO lively and into everything. as i'm sure yours is.

Re: Not eating much?

Welcome to the world of fussy eaters lol sound like my 3!

My three are at that stage just now - dont want dog food,
So on "our" food-no salt or seasoning used, chicken and rice, spagetti bol, sardines,

I have always a bowl dry food beside the water - and its never abused - they take if peckish - after all we like a snack
