Mine don't seem to prefer one specific food, they are getting purina veterinary diets canine pediatric at the moment. They really don't seem to care for cheap cat foods like whiskas though.

Mine like cheap cat food! I just pick those with a high protein content. I also offer a variety of fish food, they seem to like any kind (its very high in protein to balance the lower protein dog food). Mine will eat most any produce with gusto. They love cooked burger and meatloaf but not bologna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
