Hi there, I am from the Port Huron area..... I get my food at Pet Supplies Plus. My little girl didn't seem to be eating much when we had her on Wellness Super 5 (has too large of pieces for her), so I started mixing very small amounts of Wellness wet food (any kind) in with her dry food, and recently I switched to the new Wellness small breed. (I was so excited they finally carried the small breed because it is more balanced for the tiny dogs we have and it is MUCH smaller pieces, which make it way easier to eat) So now I mix a small amount of Wellness wet food with the Wellness small breed dry food and she will eat nearly 1/2 cup or so each time I feed them. (all in one sitting)(I also leave out food 24/7 in case she gets hungry inbetween her 2 big feedings a day) I feel much better watching her eat all that at one time instead of a piece here and a piece there. Your little dude may have been spoiled with the cheese (I can't even open a cheese wrapper alone in my kitchen because the dogs will come running from wherever since they know the sound of me doing that so well) So good luck on his feedings.

P.S. I feel like her potty training has gone better since I have been able to feed meals that size to her, she is on a little schedule now and I love waking up in the morning without her leaving me a little 'present' !
