Nobody said this would be easy!
I went into the petstore and the 'pet specialist' assured me that Avoderm was the BEST I could get... that it was a premium food utilizing only the finest ingredients... so I bought it... it looks like captain crunch cereal, and has just about as much grain in it... :P
Now, I have to start from square one.
The babies LOVED the Eukanuna and the Royal Canin... but they itched and had stinky farts... *giggle*
They are turning their noses up at the Avoderm... I had to add egg and garlic to it to get them to even eat part of it.

Just so you know, Garlic can be poisonous to dogs..

"Onions/Garlic:
Onions and garlic contain the toxic ingredient thiosulphate. Onions are more of a danger.
Pets affected by onion toxicity will develop haemolytic anaemia, where the pet’s red blood cells burst while circulating in its body. Symptoms include Hemolytic Anemia, labored breathing, liver damage, vomiting, diarrhea, discolored urine.
The poisoning occurs a few days after the pet has eaten the onion. All forms of onion can be a problem including dehydrated onions, raw onions, cooked onions and table scraps containing cooked onions and/or garlic. Left over pizza, Chinese dishes and commercial baby food containing onion, sometimes fed as a supplement to young pets, can cause illness.
While garlic also contains the toxic ingredient thiosulphate, it seems that garlic is less toxic and large amounts would need to be eaten to cause illness."
