Hi, there was a thread on here a few weeks ago on the same subject - I wish I could remember what it was, I will look through and find it for you. Izzy completely went off NI after 5 months of eating it with relish. I had just bought a new freezer for her and 20K of food, so I was not amused! Izzy would starve herself for days rather than eat it. In the end I gave in and ordered small quantities of a number of different good foods, wet and three kibbles. I have found that if i vary the food she will eat NI mixed with something else. If I try to mix it with the same thing she refuses after about four meals. Generally she is a pain and I am too soft! I did go away for three days and left her with the kennels with only NI. When I returned she had hardly eaten any of it - so it is not just with me, she genuinely does not want to eat the same thing all the time. I now feed her a morning meal of kibble and an afternoon meal of NI with a little wet food mixed in. The kibbles I have are Lilly's kitchen (she doesn't like this) Taste of the Wild (she loves this) and Origen which I haven't tried yet. The wet foods are Nature Diet, Nature's Menu, Lilly's kitchen tins and trays, Applaws. She loves all of these! I have also mixed tuna and sardines with the NI and she is happy to eat that. What is interesting is that Izzy used to have a very sensitive tummy and could not tolerate many foods without getting very loose poo. I have chopped and changed through all of the above and she has tolerated all of it! The other reason I changed to NI was to see if it would help with her runny eyes, waxy ears and constant scratching. All three improved considerably with NI. I have noticed that now she is not having NI as the main food she is scratching a lot and her eyes are running again. So I am trying to increase the proportion of NI back into her diet.
Sorry that was a bit long, hope some of it is useful! I also worked out the cost of feeding her with each of the above, if you would like the details let me know and I will PM it to you. xx
