They did eat it {dry} before , but only as much as they needed to live , not because they enjoyed it 
This is a serious question , I'm not trying to be a smarty here , but.......Are dogs suppose to look like they enjoy the food ? Mine only get excited if I mix the wet food with it or give them homemade chicken . They don't look like they enjoy their kibble at all . Should I be concerned about that or just not care as long as they are eating it and have no bad reactions to it?
I swear I almost tempted to give them beneful again just to watch them enjoy a meal...Don't worry ,I WONT  .... but I swear this is soooo frustrating !!
So far we had Chloe on Science diet ( from her breeder) and Syd on Beneful ...Chloe hated SD but they both ate the beneful...great....then I find this site and learn how HORRIBLE beneful is !! So off we go to buy Blue Buffalo which they barely tolerate and Syd was sick for weeks so we go to BB wilderness instead....which they still barely like and won't eat any lifesource bits....so off once again to NV prairie kibble ....and surprise , they barely eat it. So I mixed a can of Venison food from BB I had yet to try and they devoured it ! Now they start crapping like little mega poo machines so again ....were off to the store 
Why can't it just be as easy as you buy a good food they love the good food everyone is happy...don't they know how much easier that would make it  |
I know how you feel I have done the same thing in the last 3ish years, I have switched from one food to another only because of the "high premium food, is better" statement that everyone keeps throwing out there. Im not saying they arent better, but if your pet wont iteat it whats the point in trying to make them?? I have came to the conclusion that I will feed my pets what they will eat. If its not on the list of top knotch than so be it.
If your dogs did well on the beneful than why not put them back on it??? I know its not the best out there, but if your pets enjoyed, then it's worth it. Yes, your pets should enjoy eating, they shouldnt be made to eat something they dont like. You wouldnt eat liver if you didnt like it right? (not being rude, just making a point
). Good luck with your pet food search, I hope you can find something they will eat and enjoy!!
oh have you tried dogswell? I just put my dogs on it and they love it. They wouldnt touch any of the other better foods but totw. Its not the highest quality food, but its not the lowest either. They make some awesome treats too.
