My puppy isnt eating her dinner! She ate the food in the past so i know its not that... I wonder why she wont eat it... ive tried everything.... putting that nutri-stat on it, wetting it a little with warm water... nothing.. she wont eat it... i have her on a fixed schedule (for potty training purposes) how long should i keep the food out with her sitting htere fore...
She is suppose to eat at 6 the food has been sitting htere for 40 min... she hasnt touched it, although she drinks the water...
any suggestions??
I am feeding her a mix of purina por plan small dog formula and natural choice premium nutrition formula
Thanks for the help...

I have that problem with my dog, she will eat when she is ready she can go for days as long as she is drinking you have nothing to worry about.
Also if the food is out longer than 10 minutes and they dont show take it away, it teaches them to eat when they are given food.

Hi, I just brought home my Peekapoo this weekend and she isn't eating much either. I'm only leaving the food out for 10 minutes, regardless of how much she eats. This will aide in toilet training as it establishes a routine.
Another thing I have learned is NEVER change a puppy's food without vet supervision. That could be exasperating your problem.

ok maybe you can try this, try a dog food called "chicken soup" puppy and mix that with the wet food of the same name. you can add wht rice, chicken broth, and some steamed veggies like(carrots, celery, peas,potato) i do this with my litters of golden retrievers. i breed goldens and they are very picky eaters. but that is what i do, and the chicken soup is not that expensive to buy. i have all my goldens on that food and no one has any loose poops. but you can try the stuff i tried and let me know if that works. good luck. if you try this you want to make sure that you mix half and half of both foods because you will end up with lots of loose poops because of a dramatic change in foods. i hope this works for you.

Take away the food - it's been sitting out for too long. Skip this feeding and try again at her next scheduled time. If she doesn't eat then, I would take her to the vet...

If you think your dog may have a stomach irritation, a safe vet recommend cure is to make a 1/2 1/2 mixture of ground beef and rice (non instant)..I've tried it and it has worked every time!

Since she's a pup have you tried feeding her wet food?

Tell me your feeding her more than once a day.....how old is she? She should be on puppy food, not adult dog food.
