| Have you tried a raw diet? My 3 lb chihuahua was very finicky and it was hard to get her to eat anything. Sometimes she would even refuse to eat boneless chicken breast or hamburger meat!! When I switched all my dogs to Nature's Variety raw diet she started wolfing down the food and tried to steal the other dog's food!! She has turned into our little lion!!

| When I got Taz, my MIL was cooking for them. I wanted him on dog food and he turned his nose up at everything. We could only feed him "people food" or he would eat the cat's food. (Go figure) We then got Gabby and she has allergies, so I went to a Pet Store that carries high end dog food. I bought Canidae, Evangers & Merrick. They hated Merrick, picked at Canidae, but they both LOVE Evanger's rabbit. Also you can email the companies for free samples. There is a sticky in the Food & Diet forum. Some will send you some, others won't. That will save money if you are trying to find a new food.

| You can get Nature's Variety, Primal or Stella & Chewy's raw diets. They are all good premade raw diets that are frozen in 1 oz nuggets. Most upscale pet stores will have these brands. I get mine at Pet Food Express and they have a special, buy 3 bags, get 1 free. If you call some stores around you, I'm sure you will find one that has one of these brands.
