Puppy bored of raw diet

Hello everyone,

I want to start by saying our puppy was on half kibble half raw with his breeder. As soon as we brought him home he was on a 100% raw diet and he absolutely loved it, he would sit by me and drool as I would prep his meal. Now it seems like he could care less, even to get him to come to his bowl he seems uninterested and will not finish his full meals- sometimes leaving half the serving.

He is almost 19 weeks and this was not a problem up until about a 1.5 months ago. First I tried changing his foods texture from fully thawed out to partially still frozen - he was back to loving his meals for two weeks. Than again seemed bored and would barely eat. I than started adding green beef tripe and again he was back into for a couple days but now again seems uninterested.

I rotate between 4 different types of proteins but per week. I’ve tried taking certain supplements out to see if that’s the issue but nothing seems to work now. His energy levels are normal and he is gaining weight every week when we do our weekly weigh in. My concern is he isn’t getting in the proper amount of food he should be having at his age.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

When you rotate his food and add different things, it seems he likes it. I would keep rotating his food. Change it up every week and see what he does.
