Puppy was fed on raw food with breeders. When I got him he wouldn't eat kibble or any of the food I tried.
So I fed him scrambled egg and steak mince and managed to eventually get him to eat nature diet as it has the vegetables etc in it.
He's now 5 months old and won't eat the nature diet any longer. He will eat steak mince, lambs heart, chicken legs and lamb mince. He won't eat any vegetables or his egg anymore.
I have bought some powder with all the vitamins in to add to the mince but when I do, he won't eat it.
Now my question is, at 5 months old is he developed enough for me to let him starve when he is being fussy? I don't want him to not grow properly so have been reluctant to do this before.
Ideally I'd want him on kibble same as other 4 dogs and I don't have a freezer and he's so fussy on a day to day basis, that I end up going to Tesco every day for fresh meat for that days meals. He's costing me more to feed than my horse! Plus I'm worried he's not getting a balanced diet, just pure meat.
