| This probably won't help at all - my Rowdy does not care for dry food either, but......... the only dry food that he will eat a little bit of is Solid Gold Wee Bits. He absolutely will not touch anything with a large kibble, so kibble size might be important, maybe not. Also, about the only way I get him to eat the dry kibble is to hand feed him. And I have to hand feed Rexy at the same time and Rexy will eat ANYTHING. So, I feed a few kibbles to Rexy and then MAYBE..... Rowdy will eat a few. At times, Rowdy will actually eat a lot of kibbles, other times he won't touch it even when I hand feed it and when Rexy is eating. Go figure! I have also drizzled a little bit of kayro syrup on the kibbles to get Rowdy started - not enough to coat every kibble, just a tiny bit on the top and then maybe he will start eating the kibbles out of a bowl, and sometimes (not always) keep going. I know what you mean about how frustrating it is to try to get them to eat what you know they should be eating.

| You might want to try Nutromax, I used to give Lady the wet and the dry, now I have weened her off the wet and she just eats the dry. And she used to always give me a problem with the dry food, now shes enjoying it. |

| How about Natural Balance Organic. I mix that with 1tsp of diced chicken and veggies. He seems to love it. |

| I feel for you girl. Sissy is the same way. I've tried 6 different brands since she stopped eating her Royal Canin at 9 months. The only thing I can get her to eat a little of is Chicken Soup and Solid Gold Wee Bits. It certainly is nowhere enough to constitute a meal, though. She gets yogurt/oatmeal/scrambled eggs for breakfast and boiled chicken with rice, carrots and spinach for dinner. She eats her breakfast alright, but dinner I almost always have to hand feed her. For a while she was eating the Natural Balance meat rolls, but she's turning her nose up to that now, too. She will not eat any canned food. I tried wetting the dry, pouring gravy over it, adding chicken broth, adding cottage cheese, etc. NOTHING worked. I recently got a sample of Life's Abundance and she ate a kibble or two, but nothing to get too excited over (though she loved their heart smart treats). She also gets vitamins. It is very frustrating and difficult to have someone watch her when she is so particular. I worry that she isn't eating enough or a balanced diet. But, better she eats something!!
