Eating slow, and eating from our hands

[Lucy & Ellie]

Lucy is 11 weeks old day!  She doesn't eat a whole lot.  We go to the vet tomorrow for a booster shot so I'll mention it to her.

We transitioned her to Origen and she likes it and is doing well with it.  Does it help with odor?  Because I don't smell an odor on her at all - awesome!

I notice that when I sit by her and her bowl and feed her from my hand, she eats a lot more.  I wonder why?!  Should I do this so she'll eat more?  

Thanks :)

This is a great idea! Peanut butter is very calorie dense, and most dogs love it.

Darla loves peanut butter in her Kong…I use organic peanut butter I make myself..no additives of salt or sugar..just peanuts and a little organic coconut oil

This is a very informative discussion group. I have been following for a couple of weeks. Lots of great information available.
I just read this thread. Have you thought about consulting your breeder, a dog nutritionist, or getting a second opinion?

Not sure if this would work - but have you tried feeding her with toys such as kongs or the wobbler?  We did that with Zoe until she was about 5 month because she would gobble her food and it slowed her down.  But once we switched to feeding her from her bowl - she's less interested and we do other things to entice her to eat (some warm broth, etc).  Maybe she  likes the interaction?  Try feeding her close to where you eat - or maybe at the same time?  Seems like 'doods are sort of sensitive to when and where their 'people' eat?

Oh, and Orijen is by far the best - I'd stick with that as Karen said -
