Patricia always loved wet food since the first time she ate it - as long as it was not 9Lives. The texture did not matter. But after moving in early December, she did not want wet food anymore. I assumed she had decided not to eat any wet food, period, because it was Blue Buffalo and I feed her BB kibbles. That makes no sense.
During her first appointment in Florida, the vet asked me if she is eating any wet food. I told him she refuses to eat it. He told me to try again. I quickly realized the problem was it smells different, not the texture, and she would rather eat any kind of fish than chicken (even though she is eating chicken every day in her kibbles). The taste test continues.
My biggest challenge will be switching her from 24/7 availability to scheduled meals. She weighs between 9 and 10 pounds, which is good for her size. Except for gingivitis, she is in good health, so I am just doing this because it is the right thing to do.
