If the dog really is a picky eater - I fall into the 2nd category.

I certainly think making the effort of finding a good quality dog food their eat willingly is worth a shot (like a good one with a chicken base, maybe turkey, beef, and something alternative like venison or rabbit.)

I think the need for the 2nd point of view really comes into play when you're dealing with a dog who is used to dealing with food that is constantly doctored with add-ins/people food or simply just people food itself.

Depending though, sometimes you just need to be the top dog and say - no, this is a good food and this is what you have to eat.
