Max is a 9-year-old Dashound male and was reluctant to accept Nature's Blend which I followed in your email instructions. Eventually, he accepted water-less food but only with urging and some treats mixed in. By the second bag, he no longer eats previous food (Wellness Small Breed Adult) and now eats one meal in AM and one meal PM. I load his dish with a handful and a half, then give him soft treats mixed with Nature's pellets, dry. The 2nd bag is gone and he only needs a little encouragement. My wife is a dementia patient and REALLY loves Max, and is constantly finding ways to slip him treats so I watch both to prevent his gaining weight. Of course I am considered the bad guy in any effort to keep him at 16lbs so any ideas are welcome.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
