Wow, I'm glad this stuff worked out. I tried the other Nutro salmon stuff on my friend's dog and he went into full-on Gandhi mode not even eating for days on end. When I put this stuff down, however, the little fluff ball ate it up like there was no tomorrow. Maybe it was the all protein, no grain aspect. Maybe it was the smaller kibble size, which is more appropriate for the smaller dog. Or maybe it was that it doesn't taste like old fish. I don't know and I'm back in the dog's good graces with this stuff.
