Default Gets tired of food? Do you cycle thru different kinds?

Hi,
I currently have my 2 Yorkies on Bil Jac's and they loved it when I first started them on it, and now the one is getting tired of it. He only likes to eat when I sog it down with warm water. I prefer to give them the food hard, to help keep the teeth clean, and I try to save softening it as a treat. But lately, that's the only way he eats it. Otherwise, he doesn't eat. And he's such a little guy (about 5 lbs) that I don't like for him to miss too many meals. But then when I get samples of other foods, they both go nuts for it (because it's new!) and then after a few bags, they tire of it. Partly, I can't blame them- who wants to eat the same stuff all the time? But then I want to do what is best for their health. I thought about cycling thru maybe 2 or 3 kinds of dog food- maybe changing every 6 mos? What do you think? How else do you handle a picky eater?

We've had them on Eukanuba Puppy from pups, and after 1 yr old tried:
Wellness- didn't like
Solid Gold Wee Bits- didn't like
Purina Pro Plan- didn't like
and then the Bil Jac's which they have been liking until recently.
They don't mind the Royal Canin "Yorkie flavor" but will they tire of that in a few months?
