So my husband and I had a discussion over Champion dog food and the recent issue. We decided to switch from Orijen to the Fromm grain free chicken. Especially since there was a big price increase at the place I get her food. Annabelle has been on Orijen since I switched her off of the breeders Purina crap. She has never been one to love her food. When I first bring in a new bag, she will go and sniff it, that is about as much interest in food she has ever shown. So I thought it would be easy to switch her over. I was wrong. My plan was to do half 1/4 new/3/4 old, then new/half old, then 3/4 new/1/4 old over the course of 4-5 days. But she won't eat the new. She eats the old and leaves the new in the bowl. Next meal I try to give her the new she left. She walks away. I tried to give it to her the next day. I could tell she was really hungry, but wanted nothing to do with the new. I tried hand feeding her the new, she turned her nose up. My granddaughter who Annabelle adores and would eat anything she gave her, tried hand feeding her the new, she wanted nothing to do with it. I finally broke down and gave her the old after about 30 hours of not eating anything. She of course gobbled it up and begged for more. I am now out of the old. What should I do?

it isn't just U.S. pets, it's U.S. citizens. Our regulations for what can be in human food stuffs are way less rigid than those in Europe or Canada, too. And with the current administration, that's getting worse. 

Ha, you said what I was thinking. But wasn't going to go there. I've been told I'm too opinionated.

Too true : ( 

I remember when I went to NY state for a year in grad school that the meat and milk tasted really strange to me... then I read about all the differences in food standards and what I found was not pretty.

Sad but true that it's getting worse :(

So,  is there a Canadian made kibble brand still imported to the US? Two of my doodles didn’t notice or care when we had to switch to the US made Orijen, but Ned did. He took a while to adjust. And we don’t even feed the Six Fish formula. 

Petcurean is made in Canada and sold here. 

I’ll look at my local stores to see if any carry it already. Wouldn’t that be nice!

Look very carefully at the different formulas. You will want something grain free and as high in protein as they offer.
