What difference does it make what brand of kibble you feed your dog?
As long as it is excellent quality, within your price range, and your dog is doing well on it, what difference does it make?
Hungry dogs will eat ANYTHING.
Dogs that have been starved are known to have digested stones, sticks, and other foreign objects. When they are hungry to a point of starvation, they will eat whatever they can find, even if it's a stone!
If a dog is refusing food, there is only one reason for it: The dog is NOT hungry. A dog will NEVER refuse food if it is hungry. Makes no difference whether it is Innova, Orijen, or Beneful in the bowl. A hungry dog WILL EAT.
If you put down a bowl of food and your dog walks away from it, simply remove the food after 15 minutes in a matter-of-fact manner. Then give the dog NOTHING else until next mealtime. Put the bowl down again at mealtime. If the dog is hungry enough, it WILL EAT.
"My dog doesn't like this brand of kibble." In my opinion, that is a JOKE. Food is food. Hungry dogs WILL EAT food.
Dogs are smart. They quickly learn how to manipulate their owners. They "hold out" if they know they will get table scraps. Why should they eat kibble now if you're gonna give them bacon or steak later?
"My dog won't eat kibble alone, I have to top it with something." Yes, you CAN get a dog to eat kibble alone. Just wait till it's really hungry.
I used to experiment with different premium kibble brands until I learned the hard way that it really does not matter. As long as it's excellent quality you can rest assured your dog is getting good nutrition.
Some of you will disagree with me and that's OK. Just stating how I see things, from my point of view.
