    Nova and Mandy are also very picky. I was constantly changing food because they would get tired of it. They are now on Natural Balance Sweet Potato and Fish, and they have been on it for months with no problems They don't fuss, they don't turn up their noses, they always dig in as soon as I set the bowl down! Maybe with all of the corn the food is a bit tasteless and that's why he likes the Bil Jac (less corn)?

    That could be. I looked around the internet and emailed a few companies (Nutro, Royal Canin, and a few others) and asked for free samples. I did that before, when we first got him (about 6 months ago) and that's how I found Bil-Jac. I knew at the time that it wasn't the best food, but he was really skinny and we were having trouble getting him to eat. I was so excited that he was actually eating I just bought it. Maybe now that he has settled into our home, he'll be more willing to try something else. I've been thinking about changing for a while (that's how the Maxximum Nutrition food came into play, but I'd rather not change to that). Thanks for the advice! Maybe I'll try the Natural Balance Sweet Potato & Fish on him

    I think it's the fishy smell that gets them. I can't smell it, really, but I have problems with my nose My mom says she can smell the fish and it smells bad, but it's not too strong. But my dogs looooove anything having to do with fish. They'd take fish over red meat any day!

    Be careful too though; most grocery store brands of foods will spray animal fat over their food to make it look and smell and taste appealing to the dogs lol

    Natural Balance isn't a grocery store food.

    no no no I wasn't referring to that food, just how you said about "taste" in general lol Most people THINK "well my dog seems to love it!" that it means its a good food but in reality the dog only thinks it smells good because of the fat they spray over the kibble

    I don't know if Roscoe likes fish, but I do know that he loves meat - anytime I make a roast or anything like that he goes nuts! I'll try to give him a little fish and see if he likes it
