Tried Petcurean Go! - Turkey..she ate it without a topper!

[gigi d]

So I've been trying to figure out a way to get Gracie to eat her dry without needing Stella and chewies crumbled on top… I happen to be at the holistic store the other day and they recommended to try this food and I did and she ate it all up. Two days in a row she ate it without looking at me to add any dehydrated raw. I still gave her the Stellas in the morning alone just one Patty. Any thoughts on Petcurean Go! The single protein formula? She had been on Fromm but never crazy for it.

It's a good food, and it's on our list, but this is not about the Petcurean Go, it's about something new. I can almost guarantee that after a while, she'll turn her nose up at the Petcurean food, too. There's nothing magic about it, or anything that makes it more appealing than any other kibble. True, some dogs may prefer one particular protein over another, but that's about the specific formula, not a brand. Fromm is a brand, and it consists of about 15 different formulas. Is she not crazy about all 15 of them, lol? It may be that none of the ones you tried contained turkey, and maybe turkey resonates with her. :)

Here's a link to the best discussion we've ever had here about this topic. It's fun and funny, but it's also full of wisdom and good advice. Please read it, I think you'll like it:  http://www.doodlekisses.com/group/thefoodgroup/forum/topics/an-ode-...

Great thread! Read through it and it def struck a chord! I'm inspired to not be so stressed about her eating / or not eating really! Thx Karen!

If Gracie is healthy, she will not starve herself. She has you trained and it really needs to be the other way around.  I have a picky eater and I just tough it out with him.  Once in a while I will add a couple kibbles from someone else's food or put some yogurt on as a topper, but basically, he either eats or not.  He really self monitors his weight and weighs the same year in and year out.  He is 9.

Thx for the feedback… I know I definitely have to start talking it out with her. She's also older (1.5) now so I have to stop thinking she's so fragile. I am really going to try harder this time! LOL
