doesnt eat very good

That sounds like he's eating enough, all dogs vary, and many won't go by the back of the bag recommendations. The only way to know how much is really enough is to look at him and feel him. If he looks good, then I wouldn't worry. Many people overfeed their puppies.

I think all pups go through picky phases, so I wouldn't worry as long as he's eating *something* everyday. One day he might pig out, the next he might skip a meal, but that's fine as long as overall he is getting enough nutrition. I miss those puppy days!

at some point you have to select a food for him/her. they'll let you know if they like it. we use a dry with chicken added. we use boneless and skinless chicken breast and thighs. sometimes we cook them some groung beef and add it to there food. we have a Grey Hound and a GSD.

My pup eats less than that- Just over two cups a day of Pro Plan large breed puppy. That keeps her lean like the vet wants.
She'd eat much more if I let her. But I go by what she looks and feels like, not how hungry she acts, or what the bag says (but it just so happens the bag is right on for her)

i am not sure if this was mentioned, but are you free feeding your pup? If I left puppies bowl out to long (as I was thinking hey buddy come on ya need to eat) he would eat a few pieces, walk away, ect.

We learned pretty quick we just needed to give him a few minutes to eat, and if he didnt we picked up the bowl. He learned really quickly as well when feeding time was, and there hasnt been a problem since. Plus it helps as you can see the exact amount they are eating so you can change it up if you need to.

Another thing is training treats, i remember using so many treats those first few puppy months for constant training that I had to remember that as well at mealtime and modify meals accordingly.

Annabelle never had a ravenous appetite either. Sometimes she would skip meals entirely. She grew up fine. As long as a vet check rules out any disease then I wouldn't worry about it. Sounds like he's doing fine!

na i dont leave food out freely..i have him on science diet, i've tried nutro ultra holistic but he wasnt a big fan of that, also purina, which i got that when we first got him and i learned more about nutrition so i switched to science diet...now that i've learned even more i am switching to eagle pack

i have changed the amounts i give him at a time and it has seemed to help..i did start putting it in his crate and he seems to relax more while eating. i still feed him the same amount of food a day but just in different sizes and its 3 times a day..

Everyone has their opinion but I would not give Prozyme unless the pup has EPI. To me Probioitics are a much better choice.
