That is exactly how I feel. I'd rather give my puppy something he LIKES, instead of forcing him to eat what I choose for him to eat - within reason of course. That's why I'm so torn
I actually did try Stella & Chewy's (freeze dried). He ate it for 3 days! He ate it when I tore it up into tiny pieces & he ate it when I re-hydrated it with a little water. I was thrilled! I thought I'd found THE food! On the 4th day, he sniffed & walked away. I was sooo bummed.
Does Gracie still eat Stella's everyday? 3 times a day? Do you ever feed her anything else? Does she have days when she's picky?
Today was the first day of trying this technique out. He didn't eat. I knew he wouldn't. And he looks tired, sleepy & slow. I feel horrible! I don't know if he's not eating his Fromm because he really doesn't like it...or if he's just holding out for something better. We're at the point that I have no idea what he actually likes to eat. He perked up when he saw me making chicken & scalloped potatoes. He thought it was for HIM! Poor thing
