I used to have a JACK RUSSEL TERRIER. Loved him with all my heart. VERY picky about eating dog food and at times, wouldn't eat for a day or two. Started sharing what I thought was decent enough food to him (Moose steak, etc) and he LOVED it!! Got overweight! I did change his food to "Fresh Pet" and he couldn't eat enough of it. But it was too late. He developed signs of diabetes that progressed to needing insulin which he fought me tooth and nail over. Hated needles!! This was a direct result of eating people food. He soon became blind and then I lost him at 13 years of age. It devastated us! My Yorkie eats Fresh Pet now and absolutely NO human food! Fresh Pet is worth a try. Right now it's sold only in limited stores but Petco has it for sure.
