not that easy.
if mine doesn't like a dog food, she might eat a couple bites if you force her like this. But she will eventually start losing weight and muscle mass.

eta my vet told me years ago to stick with purina. he said at one time or other all the fancy 'boutique' dog food has been recalled or has been found to have bad shite in it...he said 'purina has been feeding livestock for 100 years and they have it down'

This is false, btw. The big box dog food companies know what is best for dogs, but they've bowed to cost-cutting and shareholder profits. They've done the research, they just choose to ignore it for profits.

Also, be skeptical what your Vet says nutritionally for dogs. Vet schools focus on medical issues, not nutritional ones. Many, many vets get huge kickbacks from Hill's (the company that makes Science and Prescription diet) so they are inclined to recommend those foods.

Just my .02 cents. I worked in the dog food industry for almost 10 years.
