My puppy wont eat hard dog food but if I hand feed her she will eat out of my hand also she likes my cats food

won't hurt the dog
don't leave the cat food down after it has eaten

Feed him Purina puppy chow,no wet food period,it rots their teeth.Let him or her eat till their full.Also no human food,good treats are dream bones....You want their waste to be solid.

A dog can go without food for a few days and then will eat when it is hungry. Just stop giving your dog your food and at its normal feeding time give it a bowl of its food. If it does not eat it, take the food away. Then 24 hours later put the bowl of food out for the dog. If it has not eaten it within ten minutes take it away and then 24 hours later put the bowl of food out for the dog again. By now the dog should be happy to eat what it is given.

The following is advice from the ASPCA
Cat food is higher in protein and fat, which may make it very palatable to dogs, but if you continue to feed your dog only cat food, over time you'll begin to see nutritional imbalances. It's also possible to see gastrointestinal issues, such as vomiting and diarrhea, in dogs who continually eat cat food.

well i have delt with dogs giving birth and having to hand feed the puppies my self , and out of experiance one the mother gives birth they probably will refuse to eat or even leave the area with their puppies, so all you can do is have a bowl of food near by along with a bowl of water she will get up eventually , as long as she is feeding her babies you do not have a problem ,if the problem persits then phiscally take the bowl to her and see if she will eat , but honestly do not worry they will eat and usally when no ones around thats because natrual instints of a mother they will pertect their young and everyones a treat so they will not leave unless they feel safe and usally only for a second, dogs are funny that way , they will not even go to do their nesesities . so do not worry after a week you will see her go back to normal and leaving her puppies to eat and do her nessesities .

Just put some dog food in a bowl it will eat when it gets hungry also see vet if it won't eat

I HOPE IT WILL SOLVE YOUR PROBLEMS....

Feeding Guide for Puppies

Newborn Puppies grow so many times faster than adult dogs and a healthy puppy can burn twice calories compared with an adult dog, so it is more important to provide them complete nutrition to fulfil their energy requirements.
