Just wanted to tell everybody that I just went to this small little pet store up the block and bought a bag of canidae all life stages and edan LOVED it!! It was so weird (in a good way!), he was eating it like he eats his wet food! Usually, when I put dry food down he turns his nose up at it, then eventually eats a bite or two throughout the day. He gobbled up nearly half of what I gave him immediately! I dunno, maybe it just instantly smelled better or something...thanks so much all of you for your suggestions; I also emailed a lot of the other companies you guys posted to ask them for some free samples...finally, he will eat dry food without me bribing him with hot dogs or fatty grocery store canned food.
