My dog is not a fan

Unfortunately my dog does not like this. The only way I can get him to eat it is by adding a topper of wet food to it.

I have a 18 lb dachshund and a 45 lb boxer dachshund mix which both are very small dogs. They have been eating science diet just about all their lives. I tried the smaller kibble but the my smallest dog did not like it at all. So I've always tried to keep them on a regimen diet for their small legs so that they don't get overweight

Love that it shows up within 3 days so my pup doesn’t starve!! Doesn’t mean I don’t have to go and buy a small bag until it gets here, but that’s on me!!

Go slowly - this diet dog food takes awhile to adjust

Our dog isn’t real crazy about this new food so we are taking longer for him to adjust, by still mixing it with his old food.

Bought this due to the recommendation of our vet to help our dog drop a few pounds. Unfortunately, the only time my dog has happily eaten this was during the transition period, when mixed with his previous food. Now fully transitioned to the new food, he is flat out refusing to eat. We are quickly ordering another vet recommended brand to see if he will take to it. We have previously stayed loyal to Fromm's but switched flavors frequently for variety; this is the first time in his life (11 years old) that he has ever refused to eat.

Hills lite dry dog food

My vet suggested I switch to the hills lite dry dog food. I am mixing it with the previous style. My dog likes the new product.
