Mario prefers "cheap" dog food I bought him special food, since many small dogs seem to have wheat allergies. He won't regularly eat his food, but will eat our big dog's food, which is just a cheap store bought food.
Next batch of food I am buying Mario is Canidae chicken meal and rice food, so I am hoping Mario likes it better. I want him to eat his own food since he is part/mostly yorkie and they have pancrease/liver issues more than my other dogs breed. Plus, he is a service dog, so he needs to have a better quality of food for a variety of reasons.
The big dog is kinda funny, but awesome. He won't eat people food, cat food or Mario's food. He will only eat his own, from his own bowl. Does not matter what brand, just has to be his in his bowl where his food belongs. He really does not like eating his own food in the house either.
Today, I put the big dogs food in a 3 gallon bucket (high sides) so Mario cannot get into it (I hope). He could not get water from that bucket, so hopefully he will not dump the food to get to it. Big guy eats outside, Mario eats inside. Now Mario will have to eat his own food (crosses fingers). |
