How can you tell if your dog dislikes his kibble?

Hehe, my cats adore Purina Cat Chow, even though they get a high-quality brand of cat food (Chicken Soup). I give them a pinch of the Cat Chow now and then for a treat. I think Purina sprays something yummy on the food, I can't think of any other reason a cat would go crazy for corn

. I even tried feeding them Purina for a while, before I had done any real research into pet foods, but the litterbox odor completely removed any idea I had about that

I'm just glad Snoopy is back on canidae as his poop was soft when he was on it and he pooped more.

My brother had the same problem with his Rottie.....we did some research and couldn't find much. When I bought my Morkie I decided to ask a vet what food he recommended. He told me that most dogs arent picky eaters, but he didn't recommend us feading him commercialized dog food at all. He said it tends to make them sick and also gives them other medical problems. Since you had Marley checked out I wouldn't worry too much, but i still think you should do some research into the contents of that dog food...Hope that helps

I don't know about this website. Don't click on the link that says more info click here, its totally spam.

FYI....i am not asking anyone to click on anything on my blog....its there for informational purposes only....seriously, take a look at the article that is posted on my blog, then decide. You can even look it up yourself, try googling "carcinogens in dog food"; you may be surprised. This forum also lets the owners of that link advertise here, maybe spam to you, but not to me.

FYI there's another thread about rotating your dog's kibble. I took this link off of the other thread. It's from dog food anaylsis. It seems logical.

BTW we changed Mochi's food to the Orijen 6 fresh fish. She totally loves it. Normally she doesn't have any preference to any kibble. She basically hates it all except this! I dont' know if its the change or the taste. We'll see if she get sick of it...

Yep. I to have had this problem. My pup just decided one day that he didn't like Wellness puppy formula anymore. I switched to Fromm Salmon a la veg and he gobbles it up so far. I think dogs, like us humans, can get tired of the same old thing day in and day out.
