Default Yorkie hates high quality dog food

Hi All!

I have a 5 year old male YT who is somewhere between 7-8 lbs.
When I got him in April (from the pound) I tried to start him on Blue Buffalo Wilderness kibble, he would eat none of it.

So I went with Royal Canin YT blend, which he likes and much to my shame I also got him hooked on Pet Botanics rolled dog food which he LOVES. I don't like some of the stuff in both types of food and want to put him on better food.

I got 3 different trial bags of the Orijen and the trial size of Natures Variety chicken favored raw medallions. He will not go near either of the better types of food. But today he stole the entire log of Pet Botanics out of my shopping bag and carried it off.

I free feed the Royal Canin and the Pet Botanics, and he seems to eat his fill and not over do it. My question (after that long wind-up) is, how can I get him to eat the better stuff? The raw needs to be thrown out after a half an hour sitting there, and if I leave Orijen out for him or mix it with the other stuff, he wont eat anything.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!
