| That is a really good food but might not be too tasty- If it were me i'd rotate daily or every other day with another Natural Balance variety- or three. Can you try to put some cottage cheese on the food? also- make sure she has SOMETHIGN in her tummy before bed=- you don't want low blood sugar or her throwing up because her stomach is empty. |

Senior Yorkie Talker | i have tried the other flavors which are venision and fish and she seemed to like the duck until now. i didnt try cottage cheese...i did try and crumble up a soft treat on top which usually works but not today. |

| Since when do our babies get choices in their diet? Isn't it better to feed them same high-quality food every day, since change is hard on their digestive systems? I agree with previous post to make sure she gets a little something before bed, but if you give in now, you could be setting yourself up for years of doggy calling the shots. Be the pack leader! Yes I have been totally brainwashed by YT and dog whisperer Good luck to you and doggy! It is so scary when they don't eat. |

| lol TOTALLY know what you are talking about. Usually people use the limited ingredients because their dogs have allergies to things like chicken and beef (raises hand- Layla is one of those) so using an exotic meat like bison is better. However, if your dog does not have these allergies- she is probably hating the way it tastes- I think all Natural Balance (Wet and dry) is superb food- can you try another variety or mix it with wet? |
