Not wanting to eat white rice (bland diet) or taste of the wild kibble

[chunkybulls]

Hey guys just received my new puppy today.

I gave her the bland diet & mix in some of the taste of the wild puppy formula for her to transition too.

The only problem is that she doesn't like the white rice or the taste of the wild kibble.

However , she was eating the beef with no problem...

Is there anything else I need to do? I don't want her eating beef only ...

First, was she eating Taste of the Wild at the breeders? If not, they should have given you some of the food she was eating. You should find out what it was and get some, then do a slow transition. If she was, then just give her some time, because she is just nervous from being in a strange place. It may help to hand feed her, sometimes that helps. She should start to eat in a few days. Just make sure she is drinking water. A little Feta cheese mixed in her food will help also.

Give her a couple of days to settle in.... she may be nervous, place the food down for her and she will slowly eat it
