Puppy not so interested in food anymore.?

Look in his mouth he may be teething. Just keep feeding him and after 15 minutes of putting his food down pick it up til his next meal so that he will learn to eat.

my aunts dog had that same problem

she gets tired of a certain food

so I always buy HALO dog food

I switch between salmon and chicken

I currently have 2 Shih Tzu Maltese and have had 2 others.

I did have a problem with their feeding as they just were not interested just the same as yours.

Turned out that it was the food I was giving them because as soon as I changed they looked forward to feeding time!

Not a good idea to just let him suck it up as it is very important that puppies get proper food regularly for ensuring their growing bodies get all the proper essentials during their growth period.

All the help you want will be on a website that goes into puppy feeding as well as adult dogs it is called dog-food-aid .com and gives puppy food options and tells how to switch foods.

I think your vet is probably right and not to worry too much about teeth right now.

Get into the right food and I am sure, just like me, your problems will disappear!

I am guessing it is his teeth. He should be right at the end of getting all his adult teeth, but if he has problems as you say eating dry food could be uncomfortable for him. Have you tried softening his food in water? I do this for my puppies if they go off their food when they start loosing their puppy teeth and their adult teeth breaks through, it works like a charm.

Do take him to the vet to get his teeth checked, though

It could be that his teeth are bothering him when he eats. Or he might not like his food. My pup would only pick at her old food and ever since I changed it she eats just fine. But definitely express your concern with the vet tomorrow and they can help determine the problem.

quit giving treats

Let your Vet decide if it's his teeth, you might try canned, if it's his teeth he will eat...............

I hope this helped!!!I bet your doggy's gonna be fine!!!

Sometimes the reason why they don't seem interested of their food is if they have eaten human food. I know it sounds weird but human food has more of a taste and he would probably get bored of his food. You can try to mix different food and maybe get him used to it again but just know that once you start feeding him/her human food it will be hard to get him used to his food again. Hope this helps a little

I have never heard of Royal Canin Puppy Chow.

I do know you should never give your dog any purina dog food or iams !!
