We have been feeding Cosmo Accana Grasslands or Ranchlands (?) since we got him 4 y/a and it seems to sit with him well. The problem is in his wet foods, he'll eat almost anything out of the package and seems to really like Caesars, which we are trying to get him off of. Have you really looked at the ingrediant lists and manufacturers on the labels?

Funny old story. In the 80's, I had an Olde English Sheep dog named Howard. I had just gone thru a divorce and Howard and my little cockapoo were great companions. Actually Howard turned out to be a great chick magnet. I had always fed the little dog Blue Mountain dry and no canned food, so when Howard was rescued, I just graduated to 50# bags. and when I had to give him up a couple of years later, the new owner called several days later and told me that Howard wasn't eating. I asked him what he was giving him and he had switched to Gravy Train which was one of the most expensive in those days. I told him to go back to the
other, which he did and Howard started eating again. Hummm, $14 a bag. Howard was 15 when he died a happy camper. Went down chasing a cow.The new owners had a 5y/o little girl snd 20 acres with cows, sheep and pigs and I got to see him a couple of times a year.
