My 6-month-old puppy is picky. How do I get him to eat his dry food?

Question

My 6-month-old puppy seems to not like his dry food anymore. I always mix it with warm water and even that doesn’t help. He’s not sick and he has always had a big appetite so I guess he’s just picky. What can I do to make him like his food again? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | unneutered | 6 months and 10 days old | 10 lbs

You could try to continue to offer the same food without any addiction and usually after 12 hrs they are hungry and would it their food without big fuss. Sometimes they can be very stubborn so try to resist! If this technique doesn't work I would try to change (graduallly) his dry food as sometime they to not like the flavor. I wouldn't recommend to add anything cooked by you unless you want to do it for the rest of Percy's life! Thanks for using Pet Coach!
