Every since he was little we have had a hard time feeding him. I was wondering if it was alright to just feed him can food. See, I have tried alot of different brands of hard dog food. I thought that maybe he needs hard dog food as well to get all his nutrients. Well, we have tried feeding him : pro plan dry and wet can food (proplan select), Eukanuba for Boston terriers, Purina dog chow, Purina natural blend (oatmeal and chicken) but he doesn't eat them for long.I tried mixing his dry food with can food, but he just spits the kibble out! He rather starve then eat dry foods. He used to be 20.5 lbs but know he is 17 lbs. Now, he is eating only might dog select, but I have to make sure it's not the one with too much gravy because he throw up. I hate to see him get so skinnie what should I do??
