Went on a free sample spree, since I'm considering changing (or at least mixing) Niko's dry food (he's currently eating EVO for his dry), and received a buncha sample packets over the past week. I did several "taste tests" using one or two pieces as treats and even though he'll eat all of them (he's slim, but a piglet), he clearly liked some over others. I worked my way down with the "this or that" method till we had a clear hierarchy.. then repeated a few days later for accuracy. Oy, I got too much time on my hands.
After tossing all the fishy flavors in the shelter box (he's not big on da fishes), here's what we had. From most liked to least:
I really wanna try California Natural dry, but Natura didn't send samples, just coupons (which still helps, since I use their canned products). The place near me that sells it only has the HUGE bags.. and the shelter can't take pre-opened bags of food, so I don't wanna risk it. A shame I can't just get a few pieces.
