I'm doing really good if I can get her to eat the Hill's I/D once a day, and if she does eat it it's just because she is starving and has no other options. She'll walk away from it time after time for an hour or so and sometimes she will go back and nibble at it but usually leaves it unless she has already missed a meal or two. After everything I have read online about Hill's dog food being full of fillers and other stuff dogs don't need, simply put, I don't want to feed it to my baby and I don't think my current vet is thinking of my baby Zoee's best interest. However, I am. I have since started mixing in the Natural Balance with the Hill's and it seems to be going a little better. I have also read Royal Canin may be another good choice....from what I have seen, their are LOTS of better choices than the Hill's and I want away from it at all costs as long as my baby doesn't get too sick. Thank you all again for all the help...I sure do appreciate it.

Hey Josh! I understand it can make you very worried to see your little one not eat. I know I wouldn't be comfortable doing nothing while my little one skips meals.
Another suggestion might be to get another vet's opinion. If you're uncomfortable with the decisions your current vet is making, and you feel that your current vet doesn't have Moxie's best interest in mind, it might be time to find recommendations for a new vet. one that will troubleshoot ideas with you on how to get Zoee to enjoy a food that is safe for her to eat. Hearing that she purposefully skips meals has me worried! Especially if you've seen she has a bigger appetite with a different food.
