Hi, I have had exactly the same problem with noodle, it got so bad at one point that I was in tears over her not eating. I have been through every dry food, wet food, tried raw, tried that new food that you have to hydrate, I even tried cooking for her myself everyday. Nothing held her interest. She would go days at a time only eating the treats she would get for training. I'm happy to say that this has all changed just by chance. A friend gave me some food to try and now noodle laps up her breakfast and dinner. I have been waiting for her to go off it but so far so good. Maybe you could try it. It is called naturediet and I get it at pets at home. It has a good meat content and no rubbish added but to be honest I am just glad she is eating. I have tried various flavours but she will only eat the chicken and the turkey and rabbit flavours. It comes in a tray, it's not a dry food but also not a sloppy wet food and her poos have really improved since being on this food too. It's only 99p a tray so not too expensive to just buy one and give it a go.

I just 're-read your post and see that Cooper is 8 months old. I'm not sure if there is a puppy naturediet as noodle has the adult one as she is 15 months. But pop to you pets at home and check if you want to give it a go.
 
Fortunately, Tilly has never been overly fussy, but shes never been very bothered by food either, so when she did start to go off her barking heads a couple of months ago, i decided to make it a bit more exciting and came across nature diet - she LOVES it. Really excited to get her breakfast and dinner and licks every last bit up!

I really hope you find something that cooper likes, I can imagine it must be a real worry x
Noodle does the same, it still puts a smile on my face every meal time to see a completely licked clean bowl :)
 
I didn't make that very clear - she still has barking heads, but a smaller portion with a bit of the naturediet mixed in too. The best of both worlds :)
I tried that, I would add her barking heads to the naturediet and she would pick the barking heads out and drop it on the floor and just eat the naturediet. So I just give her naturediet now.
 
I would talk to the vet again but I know that with willow we went through a period from four to six months that we had to either sit and hand feed her or dump her food on the ground.
Jake had always been very picky. He went off several foods. We use to mix in chicken or cheese or you name it. Then someone told us about coconut oil (for a skin issue) I mix it in his food and I can't keep him from it.

Donna is the coconut oil helping with the skin condition?
Does it have to be virgin coconut oil?
 
I think it is helping. Their costs are shiny. Their breath is better for sure :D Jake eats and he seems to have less digestive issues.
You have to use virgin. Ruth and my other friend also cook with it got themselves. It is good stuff.

Thanks for that, noodle is a bit of a smelly poo and I heard it can help with that so think I will get some to try.
