First of all, how long has it been since he has eaten. If you just got him home and he is stressed then it is understandable that he will not eat. Give him some time to settle in and then try again. You could try mixing various things with it, some canned puppy food, some hot water, some meat flavored baby food. Puppies can not go long without eating as their blood sugar will drop. Watch to see if he/she is getting lethargic. If you are very concerned. I would call your vet.

#1 may be too young to eat..how old is it?
#2 doesn't like the food
#3 try canned over dry
#4 if over a day without food and under 10 weeks old get to a vet and get some puppy formula!

doesnt like the food perhaps or the food is old/stale.

we need more info here.. you are a little vague

not sure how old the puppy is, but hopefully it has had all of the necessary shots it needs. i had a bull mastiff puppy who died of parvo and he would only drink water after he got sick so take it to the vet right away!

Depnding on the age of your pet and the vaccination history, your pet could be sick or could not like the food. If you change the food alot to try and find different foods the pet likes it might not want to eat either, cause that can cause them to get up set stomachs. If the pet has had vomiting or diarrhea the pet could have parvo, even if it hasn't had either yet and hasn't had any vaccinations it could be parvo. I would take the pet to the vet to have it checked, parvo is a nasty intestinal virus, it essentially kills the lining of the GI tract and then the lining sloughs off and causes bloody diarrhea, usually the diarrhea looks orangish brown not red, but once you start seeing the diarrhea it's usually fairly progressed, so take the pet to the vet and they can test for that and take a look at other things that might be the problem.
