Even though I've always primarily wet food, both of my boys are obsessed with kibble. I give them a few pieces of Dr. Elsey's, and they go nuts as if they've never eaten. When it's meal time one of them will hang out beside the tub of dry dog food in the kitchen. I have to keep my dog's bowl locked in her crate and out of reach. But with enough effort, occasionally they will reach the bowl, pull it close, and knock it around to get to her kibble. Sometimes I'll find a scarf and barf. :barfgreen:
The Dr. Elsey’s is what allows me to save on food since my three share a cup. They aren’t obsessed with it. But they get full and don’t eat a ton.

Same here. It's not the bulk of their diet. Lilith is such a picky eater that I have to leave it out for her in case she rejects a wet food and I'm not there to replace it with something else. She's very small and she cannot afford to lose any weight. She's not underweight for her small size but I cannot risk her losing any either.

Mine don’t like the dry food. They’ll sniff it and walk away. I do add it to the wet to make the food last longer as I can’t afford all wet right mow
