Discuss It > Picky eater, or just not food driven?

I have a 4 3/4 month old Havanese puppy. She doesn't seem to want to eat. The vet says she is all fine, and her weight is progressing well. But I worry as she would rather walk,play, train over eating. It is always an afterthought that I have to bring to her attention. Everyone is telling me she won't starve herself, but I hate switching foods to find something she will eat, as the change always leads to watery poops. Any suggestions on a good food I can put out, and only give her. I do use treats in training, and she is also very picky on those, but I have found her a favourite treat at least. Still working in the main food. Also, is dry or wet any better or worse? Do I need to give both? Does it matter to her health. Thank you for any help you can give me. I really want her to enjoy mealtime, and have even considered making her a plain chicken breast and rice meal if need be. Help! Thanks.
