Hey there. We finally got our 8 month old back from the hawaii statee animal quarantine facility (routine thing when you import a dog here.) Anyways, prior to moving here, we were feeding him California Naturals Lamb and Rice with the Honest Kitchen Firm Up Supplement. To make the supplement, we mixed 1 tsp of it with about 1 tsp of water and poured it onto the dry
food. Then when we moved here, he ran out of his
food in quarantine and they started feeding him their
food (Iams mini chunks). He was eating it just fine. Against my better judgement, we left him on that
food so he didn't run out and they not tell us again. We got him back yesterday but a few weeks ago, we saw the care taker mixing dry
food with a spoon ful of wet
food. I asked her why and she said he had been refusing the dry
food (I honestly forgot to ask for how long) but once she mixed the wet
food in, je eventually ate it. He'd pass the bowl a few times and then come over and eat it. So we just got him home and don't want to switch him back to the California Naturals right away and make him have stomach issues, so we bought a bag of the mini chunks to slowly transition him back to Ca. Naturals. Well...he straight up refuses the dry
food. Last night we fed him a can of wet
food because he hadn't eaten the dry all day. He ate it right up. Then last night my husband gave him a slice of deli turkey before bed. Why is he refusing the dry
food? It clearly started while he had been eating the dry
food just fine. The only other time he did this was when he was about 3 months old, he had diahrea and we put him on a chicken and rice diet and he got spoiled and wouldn't go back to the dry
food for a while. We don't want him to go without
food, so we bought a few cans of iams wet
food to try mixing with the dry for now but he just eats the wet part and spits out the dry pieces and leaves it.
Help!
PS. Yesterday I mixed the dry kibble with some organic chicken stock, which he loved in the rice when he was little, but that didn't help. He just drank water and walked away.
