yes you did right.If it helps mix a little chicken in with his regular puppy food fo a while to entice him to eat and so eventually there is no chicken.
Chicken is good for them but he needs other vitamins also , thats why when dogs get sick you feed chicken and rice and they should always eat that. Hope this helps.

What kind of food are you using?

Kimbo is usually a little piggy, but sometimes I have trouble getting him to eat breakfast. He wakes up @ 9 or 10 and it's been since 7 the night before when he last ate. I worry he'll get hypoglycemic if he doesn't put something in his tummy. I know this is crazy, but sometimes I put 1 or 2 kibbles on a spoon for him. He is so interested in the spoon that he scarfs up the food! After 4 or 5 bites, he wants to eat from the bowl.

when i got my baby she would not eat dog food at all i have tried just about all there is out there but becausse she only 1 pound she really needs to eat ..she can have hypoglycemia low blood sugar put some karo syrup just a little in the water to keep her blood sugar up also get some puppy milk replacer she drink that she needs vitamins if she will eat some for you be glad i had to force feed mine with baby food chicken and when staving that means the blood sugar was way to low and they can die make her eat every 3 hours hope this helps
