62Hi there
You might want to try feeding your dog a raw food diet. This is the diet of foods that nature intended dogs to eat, such as raw meat and raw bones. I have also heard of dogs eating vegetables and fruit-it just depends on the individual dog's tastes.
I realize this is a very unorthodox suggestion, however the raw food diet has been slowly making waves among those who know about it. It's not that radical, just says that the body of any animal (including humans) is perfectly able to heal itself, as long as you feed it the foods it was designed to digest. Humans, for example, were designed to digest raw fruits and vegetables, herbs and nuts. If you look up the actual health benefits of individual foods you will find they actually have a lot of medicinal qualities.
A dog's digestive system is far different than a human's and therefore should have a diet of raw meat (unless by some chance it prefers vegetables). Starting your puppy off right will not only make him a healtthier and happier dog that will live a longer life, but it will also save you a lot of time and money on vet bills.
