He's still "working on" house training so he gets a ton of treats as well. I switch it up but I always pick treats with some nutritional value. He likes Fruitables, Crump's Naturals, as well as yogurt treats, rabbit ears, bully sticks, and "pepperoni" sticks from the local Bone & Biscuit. My kids like to make small homemade treats for him as well. He gets quite a variety, but I do worry about him getting the right mix of nutrition, which is why I do want to explore some other options. I can trick him into eating his kibble by hand feeding him or mixing it in with freeze dried liver treats in his little 'Tricky Treat Ball' sometimes. I tried a sample of a "raw kibble" which was more like little confetti-shaped leathers. He wouldn't touch it. I've tried putting chicken stock (no salt, onion, garlic etc) over his kibble to soften it, no dice... I even gave him the Petcurean Turkey soft food, which he was interested in on and off. He is super picky about dog food, but when it comes to people food he will eat pretty much everything! Broccoli, cauliflower, carrot, celery, potato, beans, lettuce, yam, squash, apple, orange, pear, kiwi, pineapple... Rice, quinoa, couscous, cheese... You name it, he will eat it. Whether its crunchy or soft, sweet or sour... He doesn't care. He hasn't met a protein he doesn't like, either. lol. Chicken, turkey, ham, bacon, beef, shrimp, fish, eggs, peanut butter... He will eat all of it quite happily. He just won't eat his darn kibble! He also tires of his treats. He used to love Whimsies but now he turns up his nose.
I don't mind cooking for him at all, so I'll check out balanceit.com.
