Hello. Is Diggs eating at least once a day? You might try feeding a soft moist or canned diet & see if he prefers this. Try to stay away from any people food because they can become fixated on this & refuse all pet food. As long as he has plenty of puppy energy, there is probably nothing seriously wrong with him. He may just need to adjust to another type of food & may do better on this. Thanks for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
