Hi Everyone,
As I posted before, my Vizsla puppy (7 months) seems to be incredibly picky with his kibble.
We are currently feeding him Orijen Puppy, but he doesn't seem to like it all all now. He did like it a month ago.
Foods we are trying and have tried during the past 2 months:
Acana - Wild Prairie: It's our newest dog food attempt; he won't really eat this either.
Instinct - Duck & Turkey: Likes it better than Orijen, but still not his favorite.
Natures Balance - Potato and Duck: He likes this almost the best, but the quality according to all of you isn't great.
Taste of the Wild - High Prairie: This seems to be his favorite food, but again, people here don't seem to like this food either.
Blue - Chicken and Brown Rice Puppy: Likes this about as much as Natures Balance. Again, not the best quality.
Orijen Fish: HATES This food and has thrown up 4 times after eating it.
Stella and Chewy's - Duck, Duck Goose: LOVES THIS FOOD, but we mix it with Orijen puppy and now he is licking the RAW food off the Orijen kibbles and leaving the kibbles around the bowl.
Questions:
1) Is it a common thing that dogs don't like the taste of the "better" foods?
2) We don't free feed. Should we just leave the Orijen out for the 30 minutes and wait for him to eventually eat it out of hunger?
3) Should we feed the lower quality of foods and hope it works just as well?
4) Should we be mixing kibble and raw? Is he holding out for something different?
5) How do people rotate their foods/kibble choices?
Thanks!!!
