My idea was actually going to ask advice or ideas. but don't know if i will get any on here. We have exausted all avenues including family friends who are breeders, vets and other forums and have not had much success, so just trying anything now.

Basically the puppies are all healthy energetic but they dont seem to like the transition from formular and dog milk to solid food?

We have tried everything started with 90 % formular and 10% soaked canindae starter but as soon as the slightest bit of food goes in they turn there noses up. We tried making it more solid. We tried adding a couple of eggs . We tried mixing in nutri-cal.

Vets have told us maybe they are not hungry and experiment by putting formular down to see if they eat that as an indicator to if they are hungry. As soon as you put that down they are all around the bowl licking it up as if they have never eaten before. If we let the charlie in they eat off her so it isnt a problem with appetite.


We also had them checked up by a vet and confirmed they are healthy.

Any tips or ideas would be greatly appreciated Smile

Pups often don't take immediately to solids, just as human babies on't always!

Just put little blobs in front of them, and see if they'll lick it. Then it's just a matter of very gradually increasing the solids & decreasing th milk formula.
