Good morning YC, sorry to take so long to answer but I have been away on holidays and just got home last night.

First of all any dog you buy from a pet store should be taken to your vet immediately and given a complete check up,make sure it has been dewormed and has all reqyuired vaccinations.

Yes Pekes can be very fussy eaters but should never be thin, it is very hard for me to say exactly what she should weigh as she is still a puppy and I would need to know how big her parents are.

The best way to feed a peke is find a very good nutritional food for her then use additives to get her to eat. If it is a dry dog food you chose then you could try soaking it in warm water, or in chicken or beef broth or adding a teaspoon of canned to it, or a teaspoon of some favorite treat, could be cottage cheese, or yogurt, also you could try sprinkling parmesan cheese over it, but always stay with the same food, just change your additive once in awhile to give her a variety of taste.

Once you start to spoil them (hand feeding or table food) then they will be worse at refusing any type of dog food so best not to start that if you can help it.

Best wishes with your little one.

Diane
