Fifi eats science diet faithfully! She thinks that's the only dog food out there... lol! I've tried other "premium" brands (innova, Bosch -german brand), but she turns her little nose up at it. She wouldn't even eat the Science Diet Adult Lamb and rice(it's made with a little better ingredients than the small breed). She loves the science diet small breed and is thriving on it, nice skin and coat, etc. I would like for her to eat something better (just for my piece of mind), but if this is all she will eat then so be it. I am changing Stella (bulldog) to Natural Choice Adult Lamb and Rice in a couple of weeks, so I am going to see if Fifi likes it, but won't push it on her. She also gets 1 tbs. canned food mixed with the dry. Dry dog food is not necessarily better for the dogs teeth, but helps keep them cleaner (the hard food scrapes tartar from the teeth). I think most puppies need some canned food mixed with the dry or moistened dry b/c it makes it easier for them to eat. If the dry is hard for them to chew then they are going to eat less. ~Lacey
