snickers mom · 08-24-2006, 07:13 AM

snickers stopped eating her nutro almost a week ago now... so i tried chicken soup and she is refusing that
i dont want to buy a ton of foods to try what am i going to do? she is allergic to ekanuba, she deosnt like science diet
and besides...even if she could have the latter two... i want her on a good quality food w/good ingredients but i dont want to do wet food i know its not good long term
any suggestions? i am beginning to have a pile of unusable food bags in my house (at least the chicken soup i was able to do the trial bag)
what should i try now? that is a good quality food? and that hopefully sells sample bags seeing i have a small collection as is!!
Thanks for any help guys...

I switched the boyz over to California Natural Lamb and Rice, both canned and dry. I saw almost an immediate difference in Jo and they both like it. Have you tried that one? It's made by the same company that makes Innova but this one has less ingredients for those with allergies or easily upset tummies.

Have you tried Canidae or Royal canin?? The are also quality foods

I know Canidae is an EXCELLENT food! I feed Chicken Soup, but if that didn't work for me, I would definately feed Canidae All Life Stages. Try contacting the company and reqest a sample. I would be surprised if they didn't send you a sample.

When I first got Ollie, I had the same problem. I bought 5 different brands of food. Then when I got Chachi, he came with Royal Canine. Chachi's breeder said that she sets our several different brands because she has a lot of dogs and they all have their preferences. Since I had all of these bags of food, I figured Why Not try it. so I set out a small bowl of each and different days they would eat different ones, then it got so they would just eat the Royal Canine.

So now they get Pedigree canned morning and night, and Royal Canine to free feed on.

My suggestion would be to give her a few choices and see which ones she likes.

You might be ablre to get samples from the various websites.
