| Tried Lamb today. Ok so I fully switched into feeding Sparky NV Raw medallions and he has loved his food from the start. He so far have tried the chicken and beef and I had no problems feeding him these flavors. This morning, I served him a lamb medallion and he really just smelled it and walked away. I tried to coax him into at least biting it a bit before saying no but he just ignored me and his food. I guess im just trying to vent a little. I bought him a whole bag and he better at least try it before I go and return it...if he really doesnt like it. We will definitely try again later today.

| LOL!! Ohhh No! Does your store carry Primal?? That is what I have been feeding Riley. He has had the chicken, lamb and we are now on a bag of the beef. He has Loved each and every one of them. A guy in one of the pet stores talked me into trying Answers Raw Pet Food. I bought a box of the chicken. Riley liked it at first, but a few days into it he would just look at it.... and then look at me. I ended up giving the rest of it to my sister for her Border Collies. |

| I'm sorry! My little ones don't like lamb, either. I'm blessed that they aren't picky eaters but it's just none of them like lamb.

| They do not readily carry Primal but can special order at no extra cost. He loved the chicken NV and was ok with the beef. I will see if he will eat later and if not, I guess I am returning a full bag minus the 2 medallions I thawed or I can give it to my grandpa's dog, she can definitely use a better food.

| I don't know what it is about the lamb. I smelled it and it did have a different smell but maybe it wasnt offensive enough?

I used NV before Primal and I like Primal much better....and it seems that so does Riley. I am on Primal's email list they sent me a coupon for $3 off, last month and another one for $3 off, this month. | |

| Well we tried again. And still a no go. I can't get other flavors right now so I gave him some TOTW High Prairie and soaked it in water. He gobbled it up. I guess it's TOTW until we finish the bag. Oh and the feed store does not have a return/exchange policy on frozen foods so I guess I can give it to my grandpa's dog.

Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | I have one of my dogs on raw and he loves the lamb by Primal. He isn't a white meat lover but eats all favor's! He couldn't digest the Venison for some reason. He loved it but would throw it up so I returned it. All dogs are so different so you can only try different ones. Good luck! Take that back and try another.

| I emailed NV this morning and they told me that they have a 100% satisfaction guarantee on their food so they will mail me a coupon for the one that I bought since the store won't exchange it for me.

| Lamb is a much richer flavor than beef/chicken so it takes some dogs awhile to get used to it. Of my four, only one ate the lamb on the first try. The other 3 just sniffed and walked away. Now, they will all eat lamb. I just had to offer it several times and in small amounts. |

Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | Amazing I had no problem returning a bag that didn't agree with Mad Maxx to the store I purchase it from. Oh well at least they sent you a coupon for another! Maybe you can give it to someone else to try!
