Puppy wont eat puppy food.

Post by huntnfishin247 »

My 4 month female puppy will not eat puppy food. She loves the food I feed my adults and of course human food. I tried to buy some wet puppy food for her but she ate very little of it. My vet says she is healthy but I am worried about her not getting enough nutrition. What should I do? Viatamins? Any kind of suplements? Do I feed her raw and if so what? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have been feeding her adult food so she does eat and is a healthy wieght.

My pups didn't like puppy food either. I don't know why. They did up until they were about 3 months old. I just fed 'em the adult food & made sure they get plenty of it.

It is a milk supplement (in powder form) for puppies. You can buy it from a pet store for about $23.00 or go to Wal Mart and find their generic formula for about $11.00.

Let her eat the adult food and add a puppy vitamin. Dr. Foster Smith has puppy vitamins, 140 pills for 19.99. Half pill per 10 lbs. That is what I did when I had a pup that preferred the adult food. DrsFosterSmith.com
