Hi everyone, I am new to this site and I hope to learn a lot of new information regarding my bully named Miss Piggy. I didn't know how to make one of her pictures my profile pic that shows up on everyones, so for now I just added a few pics to her album. She's 1 and a half and when we first got her she was on Royal Canine for bulldogs.... I know *YUCK* so we immediately changed her from that to Wellness Core. She has been doing good on that, no more tear stains, shedding etc. Up until recently she started losing interest in it and literally would just walk away from the food. This went on for about 3 days and I had enough and ran to my local pet store (family owned) which carries a lot of high end foods. I've been researching all different foods such as Fromm, Orijen, Merrick, TOTW, Earthborn, Nutro Natural, and a few others. The pet store by me carries a lot of these, so I decided to start with Fromm since I've seen a lot of you guys feed your bullies this. Not successful one bit!! I bought the small bag of Fromm beef & veggie frittata (I think that's what it was called) I tried mixing it in with her wellness - 75/25 and still nothing. I noticed the pieces are extremely tiny. I tried hand feeding her a few pieces and she just sniffed, put it in her mouth and spit it out. I put a few pieces of our own cooked beef in the next day for a topper (she loves little treats like that) she of course started to eat her dog food, then basically left all the fromm at the bottom of it. I'm thinking maybe the pieces are entirely too small for her liking. So i returned it and asked the manager about Fromm - she said all of the grain free Fromms are tiny kibble and the other ones such as Fromm Gold have slightly bigger pieces. I was debating whether or not to try Fromm Gold - Miss Piggy really doesn't have any known allergies and can stomach just about anything but I've been doing grain free foods for a year so figured I'd stick with Grain free. My main question and concern is: What food do you have your bully on, or what would you highly reccomend for me to try and experiment with next? I exchanged the Fromm for TOTW Pacific Stream and also bought the can for a little topper, I added some of that to her wellness and let me tell you she just sniffs it and walks away! This dog LOVED her wellness topper (chicken) and would not the TOTW. I hand fed her and she ate a few pieces, then refused to eat any others. She is NOT sick! Took her to the vet a week ago for her wellness check and a few shots and shes in great health. She is just extremely picky and I'm at my wits end with her! She's barely eaten the past few days. This morning I just gave her the wellness with some baked chicken toppers we made and she ate it, of course leaving some of the wellness at the bottom. She only gets 1 cup food morning and 1 cup at night, and I know this dog is hungry! I feel so bad for her. I wish i could just find the food that works. I was thinking about exchanging the TOTW for Fromm gold or maybe trying Earthborn, Merrick or Nutro. Just not sure which one to pick up next. Also thinking she really likes chicken formulas since no luck with beef Fromm or the fish TOTW. Any and all input is GREATLY appreciated!! I want the best for my baby girl so I'm willing to try any other dog foods that have worked for your bullies. Thanks a ton guys!
