Halo, Wellness, Blue, Royal Canin (2 varieties), and now I have him on Natural Balance sweet potato and Bison. I even bought several cans of the wet to tempt him. Cross your fingers...Maybe I have a vegan dog?   |
Sometimes giving them too much variety can lead them to be more picky.
I usually recommend finding a good quality food (like the ones you mentioned) and then just add something tasty to entice them. As long as the majority of their food is dog food, you can add a little something to their food without upsetting the nutritional balance. There are so many options- canned food, tuna, sardines, boiled chicken, egg, cottage cheese, yogurt, fruits, veggies, etc. Many times this will encourage them to eat the food and then you can slowly add less and less of it until they are eating just kibble.
