What should I do if my puppy doesn’t eat dog food? It’s normal for a puppy not to eat dog food 1 to 2 months after weaning. You can make some lean meat porridge for it to eat. If your dog still doesn't want to eat dog food when it gets older, you might as well change it to another flavor of dog food, buy it a milk cake mixed with goat's milk or add a cooked egg yolk. You can also give your dog favorite canned dog food, but you can only eat one bite and then switch to dog food.

The puppy stage is actually considered a puppy under 12 months of age, but we have to divide it into stages here, 1 to 2 months after weaning. This is the stage when its teeth have not yet grown in. It is normal for it not to eat dog food at this time. You can make some lean meat porridge for it to eat. Of course, the porridge should be rich in various nutrients. Vegetables, rice, lean meat, etc. should all be boiled. Let it cool before giving it to the puppy. Try not to add salt, so that it can Ensure nutrition and make it happy to eat. This feeding method can be used until it is about four months old.

When it reaches the fourth to eighth month, it should be allowed to adapt and eat some dog food specially eaten by puppies. Of course, if it does not like to eat this kind of dog food, we should adjust it appropriately. Change it to another flavor or brand. Many times, dogs are picky eaters not because they are greedy, but because they are really not used to the smell of this kind of dog food. You can also buy milk cakes for puppies and feed them. If they still don't like to eat them, you can also soak the milk cakes until soft and mix them with goat's milk to eat, or add an egg yolk to it. Pay attention to the egg yolk. It must be cooked egg yolk, do not feed it egg white.

From the 8th to the 12th month, puppies at this stage can eat some hard and crunchy puppy milk cakes or dog food. At this stage, their teeth are complete. Again, you can change the dog food. If it really doesn’t like to eat, you can also buy it wet dog food three times a week, which is the kind of canned dog food sold in supermarkets, which contains chicken flavor and beef. Flavor, or salmon flavor, give it one of each. Dogs have a very magical characteristic. After it takes the first bite of delicious food, the owner will not give it any more, and then dry the dog with the food that it usually does not eat. The food is poured into the food bowl, and the dog food that it thinks is unpalatable is also swallowed. After all, it arouses greed, and it will definitely try its best to eat as much as possible. (Not all dogs are like this) The food bowl and water bowl in the dog bowl must be cleaned regularly every day to ensure its health.

And we should know that it is very common for puppies to be picky eaters, because dogs in their childhood are very greedy. They will try to take a bite of whatever humans want to eat. This characteristic will disappear after about 12 months. It will gradually disappear, and as it grows older, it will no longer be so greedy.
