How to get puppy to put on weight?

motoman

I've only had my pup about 2 weeks and when I first got him he would eat a scrambled egg. He wont touch them now. Anyway I am feeding him Royal Canine Baby Dog and he eats around 20oz a day. Hes about 12-13 weeks old. He was shipped from Serbia here and when I got him he appeared to be a little thin. How can I pack on some weight? A breeder here in the us suggested giving him a scrambled egg a day but he wont eat them. Any advice is appreciated.

Ask the breeder which kind of food he is used to, may be he do not like Royal Canin. Try with a little bit of liver pate mixed in the dry food only just a little bit just to make it smell better. You can olso try with cooked chicken most dog likes that . My dog comes also from Serbia ,and she was used to Purina pro plan , spoon of yoghurt and 2 x week yellow from egg. She did not like Royal Canin and still she don`t .My male prefer Purina ,but he eat normally everything.

You could also ask the vet for a sirup which give more appetite . He is also stressed from the travelling, missing his siblings and then a new home all this might upset him so he do not feel well.
