thanks inadvance

Many pups go off their food when they move house - it's an enormous upheaval for them. It'll take time for her to settle in and get used to her new surroundings and smells.

Moisten her food with warm water - it'll make it smell more appetising to her. :)

The loss of competition will affect their appetite too :)  You could try moistening it but in general it is better, at this stage, not to start offering different options as puppy will soon divert her inteligence to trying to elicit ever more interesting ideas out of you  ;)

Hi Hatty

As a guide I moisten the pups next meal with warm water an hour before I put it down.  I gradually reduce the water content until they are having it dry by around 15 weeks.

If she doesn't eat all her food try giving her a little less so that she is looking for more next time.  Don't be tempted to change the food just yet she will eat it if it is all that is offered and puppies like kids will look for something more tasty if they can get it leaving the complete food, which is good for them, in favour of something they like better but isnt always that good for them.

Keep us posted.
