Now that Baby Chan is eating the meat roll I've been mixing it in with the chicken and slowly adding less chicken. Within a week she will no longer be eating chicken. I'm happy that at least she is now eating some kind of dog food that is good for her! As far as kibble goes, I have science diet. She will sometimes eat a few out of my hand but she won't go to the bowl and munch. I've got lots of samples though! Canidae, innova, natural balance ( but I don't have the flavor you have), merrick and Evo. Her size is the exact reason I have not been able to give her nothing but kibble. I do think she would eventually eat it but how long would she go hungry and as you said I would not want her going hypoglycemic! I'm going to see if I can get a sample of the NB you use. It's worth a try! Also I will try making the kibble seem tummies with broth! Hope it works!! I tried callin NB but I can't get through!
If you go to the NB website and go to "contact us" you can write them an e-mail asking for samples of the dog food I use. They sent me a whole bunch of samples when I asked that way! Be sure to include your shipping address. Good luck! I highly recommend a kibble sized specifically for small breeds that is grain free and has good ingredients.

I do not like the ingredients in science diet, but if it is all she would eat it is better than nothing (granted it doesn't seem she is lol). I'd go with the NB and see if she eats it, especially since she likes the roll. Like I said you can always try mixing/coating the kibble with the stuff she likes (I said wet food, but not sure if the meat roll would work because I don't know the consistency of it).

If you absolutely can't get a sample, you can get a smaller bag of the NB small breed bites from Petco and I believe if your dog doesn't like it you can return it. Try looking up their return policy or asking about it if there is one near you! Keep us posted!
