I would eventually like to move my 80 lb Belgian Malinois mix off of large breed kibble (which is larger), because she has thrown up several times over the year we have had her, and it has always had large undigested, unchewed kibble in it. I've never seen her vomit small kibble (she has had some small kibble so far), so that is my long term plan is to move her to a smaller, ALS kibble. I found one that I liked (Canidae multiprotein ALS), but she evidently doesn't like it. She often refuses to eat that, even if i put a bit of canned food at the bottom of the bowl. Strange for me, as I've never had a dog refuse to eat before--even she has quickly eaten every food I've put down but this one.
So my question: if she already doesn't like the way one type of Canidae tastes or smells, does this mean that she won't like any of their foods? Or is she just as likely to like another variety of Canidae, as much as the other foods that she has greedily scarfed down? I'll stop buying this particular version of Canidae (multiprotein ALS), but should I just switch brands? If a dog decides it doesn't like a given food, does that mean it probably won't like any food from the same company?
Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question, but I'm tired of getting her to eat this stuff, and I've decided to move on to another food. I'm hoping that owners of dogs who were picky eaters, can tell me of their experience so I can move in a direction that will be more likely to be successful.
