Well, my puppy still won't really eat much of anything on his own. The only things he will eat are his Pet-Tabs (calcium), Treats, and chicken. So I was thinking of buying some chicken flavored food for him so I won't have to forcefeed him anymore. (I don't want to switch to raw yet.)
The only thing that I saw was Iams Select Bites Puppy with Chicken and Gravy.
However when I look at the recommended feeding it sais for age 3-4 months 30 lbs - 14 3/4 pouches daily?! Someone please tell me I am reading this wrong because I can only find cases of 24 pouches for $21 each.
You are problably not reading the recommendation wrong-- the pet food bags/cans always tell you to feed WAY TOO MUCH. If I fed my dogs the amount recommended they wouldn't be able to walk they'd be too fat.
I would just go with a couple pouches at first and increase it until he seems to be satisfied after eating, if you can tell that is...and if he'll even eat it on his own.

Also, healthy dogs will not starve themselves. Put his meal down for 20 minutes and then pick up any leftovers and put the dish away until the next meal. Then, put the same food down again. Don't try to make up for what he didn't eat. He'll soon learn that he better eat when food is presented or he goes hungry until the next scheduled meal.
