There is a dry food called Instinct and I think they have a duck variety. I know I got a sample of that from the store. I had to ask and they made up one. I find that the higher-end dog stores are very happy to have you try food, rather than have you lug it back. And they seem more used to picky eaters and dogs with allergies. Anyway, Instinct is a Nature's Variety food and it apparently has some of the same benefits of raw. I feed the chicken version to Piper, moistened, but only as a second option (like if I forget to thaw out the raw stuff, or if I have to board her. They won't feed raw at PetsHotel). I am lucky she isn't allergic to chicken. She did have problems with grain (itchy eyes and ears)but not the chicken itself! Thus the grain-free choices. Anyway, good luck to you! Fortunately there are so many foods out there, you're sure to find something your litltle one will love. |
Thanks for the advice! She is actually on the NV Instinct food right now, the rabbit. so i know she likes the rabbit flavor. I think she doesnt like the smell of the raw food. It does have a strange odor to it. not sure how to describe it but its not just the smell of raw meat. It doesnt expire for about 6 months.
I wonder if I could just buy some rabbit and grind it up to mix in with her food??/ Or maybe just continue feeding her the NV. I just thought I would actually find a food my dog would be excited to eat. She nibbles on the NV here and there but I really wanted her to get excited and chow down a whole meat as soon as i put it down, the way she does with human food. Im a little dissapointed but if she doesnt like it, ill keep looking for something she does.
