Picky About Pre-made Raw Brands
This isn't an issue, but I was curious to see if anyone else had any experience with this. And to see if anyone has any ideas why. Of course, it could just part of heuniqueness of being Meitou, lol.
I've noticed he can be picky about what brands of pre-made raw he will eat (and even be a little picky about varieties within a brand). He likes Stella and Chewy's, his favorite is the venison so that is the one I get the most. He likes Nature's Variety, also. Haven't had that one much recently to know for sure which varieties he prefers. There is also another brand I was recently introduced to that he likes the lamb variety (the only one I have tried of it so far because I now know he likes it). I believe the name is My Perfect Pet raw food: http://www.myperfectpetfood.com/index.html . The lamb variety is called Roxy's blend.
He does not like Primal. Well, I've bought chicken backs and turkey necks sold by Primal and he loves those, but since they aren't pre-made they don't exactly count. I tried the turkey rolls and the rabbit patties and he refused to eat both of those (but he normally likes turkey things). I've been hesitant to try another Primal variety since. I was also recently introduced to the brand Northwest Naturals, so I thought I would try it to see how Meitou liked it. I got chicken thinking, what can go wrong with chicken? I don't know what, but apparently something can, because Meitou refuses to eat this one, too.
Again, it isn't really an issue because my elderly Border Collie eats almost anything and she happily eats the stuff Meitou refuses to touch. I'm just kind of curious if there may be anything behind Meitou's behavior outside of Meitou being an individual.

I guess its just like how we might prefer one brand of chicken (or anything) over another for the food we eat. (Unless that's just a 'me' thing) lol
I'd only worry about it if he wouldn't eat anything, or only one or two food items, or had other symptoms of illness or began to lose weight.
Saya loves the pre made raw I've given, but she only gets those when being boarded. I plan get my own grinder eventually.
I thought it's typical I've got a pup with expensive taste lol it's common with JA's to be picky and she doesn't really like turkey that much either whichever type I get!
