Donating YT Addict | Dry Kibble ???? This is my question.......Do they have to have dry dog food? Tyke doesn't eat it good at all. He may go 3 days and not touch it. He does chew on bones and other toys that are supposed to help with tarter, so i'm not worried about that. Just wondering if he has to have some form of dry food. Have tried so many samples and he's just not crazy about any of it. thanks for any suggestions.

| My furbabies are also picky eaters as well. I usually mix some wet food with the kibble. Right now, I'm mixing Wellness wet food with a mixture of the following dry kibble - natural balance, bil jac, and canidae.

| No, they don't have to eat dry food. There are several people on here who feed raw (Prey model or a pre-made like Nature's Variety), and many others who home cook. Good luck, I hope you can find something your baby likes!

| That's exactly what my furbaby Tink is like too - she will no way on this earth touch dry food. Even mixed in she will just pick at it xXx

| I just asked the vet this question last Thursday and she said so long as you keep their teeth clean (brushing) then they really don't need dry. I brush about 3x week and am going to do more and get the stuff that you put in their water.
