Answers:
This is going to sound very strange but most of the time it works. Go to the store and buy the cheapest nastiest dog food in the can. Put it in a bowl and warm it up a little. Then put a little cheese on it. I was told by a vet that sometimes puppies need to be more interested in their food. The best way to do that is to make it stink for them. I know it sounds weird, but it usually works.
try pouring chicken broth on dry food
The first question is "are you feeding her people food,table scraps? if yes than she has you trained.If no don't switch her food alot this makes for picky dogs.Merrick has a very good food that many dogs find delish! call around to pet stores and see if they have it.Grammy's pot pie is a good one to give.Otherwise, put the food down for 15 minutes up for 20 etc than see if she eats.Other than what I have told you good luck.
How long has she not been eating? And is she going to the bathroom. Is she drinking water and does she have any signs of sickness. Have you recently switched her food? Is there any reason she copuld be depressed? With a puppy I would be concerned she ate something she is not supposed to and is either sick from it or its something she cant pass. If your concerned it's either of these you should see your vet.
does she have all her shots?? try mixing some wet food and mixing it with water and feeding her with a syringe. have your vet check her out. when dogs get parvo they will not eat so your best bet is to have her checked asap, because other complications can arise and fast
