My puppy refuses solid food and he vomits and we are recommended to feed him canned gravy dog food so what are the best options? Options which are economical but healthy for a sick puppy.

Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I'm sorry Dobby is so sick. First, I would ask his veterinarian what the best food for his condition is. Otherwise, here are my favorite foods for sick animals that aren't eating well. If it is available to you Hills Science diet A/d formula or Royal Canin R/S are critical care formulas that are baby food consistency and very calorie rich for sick animals. They can be thinned with a bit of water and syringe fed if needed. If these are not available, any high quality wet puppy food can be blended with a bit of water to make a slurry if needed. Best of luck, I hope Dobby recovers soon.
