My puppy is a picky eater, only wants chicken. How to get him to eat?

Question

Hello , I have a 3 month old puppy ( half german shepherd / half Labrador ) . He suddenly has stopped eating dog food ( dry kibbles ) i tried 3 different brand ( best ones ) still doesn't eat anymore . I think I spoiled him by occasionally giving him chunks of chicken . I have tried wet dog food , made broth and different vegetables , mix dog food with with broth.He doesn't eat any of those . Only chicken and omelette egg.

Hi there! Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sometimes, if no other clinical symptoms are observed, this may be just behavioral and not medical in nature. You can try 1-2 days of just trying to feed him his normal diet to see if it is just behavioral. It it is, often times, they start eating normally when they discover no other good foods will be offered if they do not eat their typical diet. If he does not start eating normally, I recommend that you have Bongo evaluated by your veterinarian to ensure there is not a medical reason to explain his symptoms. Good luck and have a good day!
