QUOTE: Kaige seems to get bored of a food after about 2 weeks on it so this may be a great idea for him as well.

That is another reason why I did it. Because he wasn't eating his hard food. Now he eats it. Thanks for the reply.

Glad he's not the only one. The first couple/few weeks on a new food he will gobble his food right down, finishing it completely in about 10 minutes or so. After that it takes him about an hour just to eat half of his meal.

I think I will try this see if it works.

I do the same for Beenie.
50% Merrick
50% Nutro lamb and rice

I think it's a great idea, as long as all of the foods are high quality, and you aren't mixing a poor quality food (ie Pedigree) with a high quality food (ie Innova) - which, all of those foods are good quality. I've heard that slowly mixing in a variety of high quality kibbles is great for dogs, as well as mixing in veggies & meats & yogurt and whatever other wholesome supplements. Of course, for people with dogs with allergies, it's best to stick to a kibble that doesn't trigger any bad reactions.

Personally, I would like to mix a slightly cheaper food (like Nutro) with Gonzo's Evo, but he wouldn't have it. He has very picky taste in kibble now, as he LOVES Evo, Innova, Wellness & Solid Gold but absolutely nothing less. Some one got him Iams sauce stuff for X-mas, and when I poured it on his Evo he refused to eat it until I refilled the bowl with plain kibble. I guess he knows lower-grade ingredients >_<

Oh yes, mine won't eat that mess either.
I got a free sample of it at Pet Supermarket.
Even Frankie who is a garbage disposal put his nose up and walked away.
I had to throw it out.
