I am so sorry to hear that you are having a hard time getting Lucy to eat the right types of food. Puppies absolutely do like to get into things they shouldn't, as frustrating as this can be. I would try making sure it's a high quality food formulated for growing puppies, and trying her on three meals a day while she is young. Though less likely, there is also a possibility that Lucy could have something else medically wrong causing her to seek out strange foods and to have a large appetite. For instance, metabolic disorders, parasites, and vitamin deficiencies can all be underlying causes. In order to rule out these causes a trip to the veterinarian would be needed. The vet would check on the parameters of Lucy's blood, and check a fecal sample for parasites. I hope this was a helpful answer and more importantly that Lucy feels better soon. Warmest regards and best of luck to you both
