I feed little Oscar Purina Beneful. I also have a Norwegian Elkhound cross and he does well on it too. I've fed Iams and Science Diet but have been happiest with Beneful.

I prefer to feed only dry food as it seems to be much better for their teeth. Beneful does have some moisture in it though and isn't as dry as other foods.

I said earlier that Jack is not finiky, so I did a test. I put down a small bowl of Pedigree Little Champions puppy chicken mixed with a little dry pedigree, next to it I put a dish of Ceasar mixed with the dry. He completey ignorned the Pedigree and chomped down the Ceasar. When I first got him home at 8 week he loved the pedigree, so I guess he is finiky. We are going to Pets Mart on Wednesday, it is about 70 miles away so it is our adventure for the day. I am hoping to find some great snacks and food, plus greenies, I hear so much about them from you guys I want Jack to try them.

Ruby eats Science Diet, and for treats she gets fruitloops and like captin crunch also, and eggs too! But just a bite or too, nothing to hurt her !

I only feed Molly dry food. She eats Nutro. Her skin was very flaky when I got her and in a litttle over a week it was much healthier. She switced over pretty easy and her poops are a good consistency. She seems to like it just fine. She is growing like a weed!

My dogs only get dry food. I feed them Canidae. Wet food causes them to have BAD gas and runny poo. They do get some treats and bits and pieces here and there of people food, but not much.

I had never owned a Yorkie until two weeks ago. The breeder told me if she got a little picky on eating try a scrambled egg; or boiled chicken breast; or rice. Maggie has already gone through all of those. I was putting a tiny amount of milk on her dry food, but it was causing a bit of soft stool. I then tried a new meal. I took her dry food and crushed it, mixed 1 tsp. of Gerber Chicken and Gravy in it, then added just a bit of Goat's milk so it wouldn't be so dry. She pigged out. Strutted her barrel belly around like she was in competion for the fat puppy of the year. That diet didn't last. I'm back to being her personal chef. Any firm ideas would be greatly appreciated. Running out of dishes to put leftover in.
