Should eat better

Q: Hi. My puppy is just over 4 mo old and is a mini goldendoodle. I’ve tried several different things to entice him to eat but he is not interested. I’ve wet his food with warm water, mixed in wet food, just offered wet food, added ground beef or chicken to food. He will go for the ground beef with food or boiled chicken alone. His belly often feels empty to me. I’ve tried to entice with different brands of puppy food, royal canin, hill science and canidea. He will sometimes only take a bit here or there and sometimes not at all. He had Giardia two weeks ago. I’m just very concerned and it leaves me so upset when he won’t eat. Water and food are available at all times to see if he would graze sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t. Is this normal? What else can I do?

A: I would need more information in order to understand his situation better, is there a convenient time and number to reach you so I can help?
