I don't feed NI but I'm sure I've read that NI suggest you add some warm water initially to release the scent. Maybe ring NI as I've heard they are really helpful over the phone.

Or try mixing a little of the kibble into it?

Haha... My mum picked it up one day for Molly and I looked at her in disgust!!! My brother is always saying to me.. "Why don't you just feed her Pedigree Chum like EVERY other dog?"!!!
But I'll tell you this(in my best Rab C Nesbitt accent) I'd be tempted if it meant she'd eat!!!!
Well.. Maybe not
It drives me crackers though watching her go up to her bowl then walk away

I know what you mean! I just want her to eat something!! She must be hungry as a mouthful of kibble so far today is not enough to sustain surely My oh says the same..what is wrong with pedigree chum for goodness sakes!!

i am sure that when a dog is hungry, as long as they are well , they will eat, it may take a day or so, and i think the bowl should be picked up again after 15 minutes and not offered until the next meal would normally be given, i give natures menu nuggets, which go down well here x

Hi Clare, I was actually going to ask you about your plan for a DIY raw diet on the other thread you posted on. I had asked Karen (Wilfiboy) only recently too as I knew she did her own raw diet.
Yes Molly does like chicken wings and has them most mornings as they are a pretty safe bet with her. She also likes Mackerel etc, have tried Sardines not sure she was overly keen.
Anyway, I would be happy (perhaps also a mug) to keep feeding her various things like this if it means she eats but my concern is that it's not a well balanced diet like NI.
There's no carbohydrate in there and there must be other essential supplements lacking in her diet that a growing puppy should have
All advice VERY greatly received

There is a really good web site for raw feeding, when I remember what it is and find it I'll post it on here. I'm still researching the DIY raw myself but happy to share what I find. I'm determined to stick with raw as truly believe it's the best you can give your dog.

I too have a fussy pup when it come to NI.She just sits and looks at it.My breeder suggested feeding it to her on m finger.I did and she eats every last bit
I'm just not sure I want to be doing this every meal time worth a go though.

So went to my friends tonight for a curry, wine and doggy play date and her pug had a bowl of Well beloved and before I knew what had happened Binky had ate the lot!! So she gave me a 'sample' to try (it is not puppy variety, so I will only try one meal in the morning) and if she eats it with the enthusiasm she did tonight, I can see myself switching. No poo as yet so will wait and see if she gets an upset tum with all the different foods she has had in the last 48 hours!

How's Binky following her meal out last night?So went to my friends tonight for a curry, wine and doggy play date
You might just not have found a food she likes and should be Encouraged that she scoffed it. I have heard a few report dodgey tums on JWB but she may be ok... Hopefully you'll have something in place soon and won't be struggling like me at nearly 8 months
