Hi. It appears Bonea is a young large breed dog. I think Royal Canin foods may be available for you. If so I highly recommend thier large breed puppy/growth formulas. Feed only that diet. You can even use pieces of kibble as treats when training. Most healthy puppies will eat when hungry so getting him to eat shouldn't be a problem. No table food or scraps what so ever. If he is very picky or not eating well or growing well then a veterinary visit may be needed. Hope this helps.
