My puppy won't eat his puppy food but will eat scrambled egg at supper, is he bored with the puppy food if so how do I overcome this?

ANSWER
Dear Claire,
Oh dear - pups that control their owners are a headache for us all-not least you! The trouble with puppy food is that it is formulated specially for them, is good for them, helping them grow, normally. but, if you offer scarmbled eggs, they want that alone, often turning their back on the real stuff! This means you need to get the dog interested in food-small meals, warm them up, don't leave any down, praise when the pup eats, even a mouthful! Also I suggest that the pup is kept away from you/your family whenever there is someone eating - avoids temptation. Don't give in/up-it will sort itself out.
