I tried Natural Balance, Avoderm, Royal Canin, Taste of the Wild (several varieties), Innova (sp?), and several other really good foods. Is there something awful about the ingredients of Bil Jac?

Bella is adorable. You could try putting a little chicken or turkey mixed into her food.

My guys eat Chicken soup for the puppy lovers soal. its very very good food. and they like it just fine, it even comes in a can wet food too, so there is variety. the can food is really good too, sometimes I mix some in with the dry for something different,

Here is a review of Bil Jac, it explains what is wrong with the ingredients and the problems they could cause.

Dog Food Reviews - Bil Jac Select Dog Food - Powered by ReviewPost

On this site it is also listed under the 1 star foods (which is the lowest).

I would recommend sticking with a food from the 5 or 6 star lists.

Good Luck


TO the OP: CONGRATS!!! on Bella

I do have a question....she was on Royal Canine 33 with the breeder. She did not eat very well at all. Hard to gain weight. I took her to meet my other dog and she found his food and went crazy over it. The only thing he has always been such a picky eater himself. The only thing we could find for him to eat was Beneful. Which did not score very well. I did take some and crunch it up and she act like she had never ate before and would never get to eat again. She went totally crazy and I had to pull it away and put it up.

I have tried Wellness and Avoderm RC 30 and RC 33. She will not eat them at all.


Any ideas to something more healthy then Beneful?

Congratulations!!!
What a lovely little lady

My little girl is a very picky eater too... I tried a few different types of food before I found one that she liked and didnt upset her stomach.
They are so little, it so important that they eat well.

The food we are on now is Canine Caviar: Lamb and Millit. But trust me, she will dive head first into the first bowl of crap kibble she sees. Its like fast food to her :P

Thanks for all the input about different foods. That is very helpful. My world will never be the same with her. She is such a joy to have and she makes me laugh all the time. Which is good for me right now. I need it!

Thanks for the congrats too!
