Our pup has Innova in the morning (which I wet - she is still a little lazy and it does not contain citric acid), and Raw in the evening. The raw meal is her fav she comes into the kitchen afterwards just to make sure I really did give it all to her and I'm not holding anything back!

MileHiRocky,

Do a search of my name and read my posts concerning runny bm's and feeding. I learned a lot, but at the cost of a few hairs and many bags of food. One of the most important problems was switching to soo many foods too soon. It will take them a while to get adjusted to a food. A healthy dog will not starve. So, if they aren't eating at all I would take them to a vet ASAP. Take a stool sample and rule out any parasites that could be causing the problem. Two. Try adding an enzyme to help digestion. Yogurt, Prozyme etc. Prior to switching foods, try going to bland diet of chicken and rice until their stomach settles. Then slowly add in the kibble over a course of at least a week, if not longer, as in our case. And three, cut back their food during winter months or periods with reduced activity. Overfeeding will cause diarrhea too. Feed them not by the guide on the bag, but on how they look. Feel the spine, ribs and hips.

What about adding cooked or canned meat to the food? I homecook and and feed kibble, but if I don't have time I will buy Wellness 95% canned meat and add. Evangers makes a good canned meat also. I have two dogs also and mix 1/2 can to each bowl or you could do 1/4 can per meal if you feed twice a day to save on cost. :)

i am not sure what the raw consist of but i don't know that I have the time for raw diet.

RAW = Prey Model Raw, a species appropriate diet for canines, consists of feeding meat, bones, and organs. It's not time consuming at all. Hand 1/2 chicken to your dog straight from the fridge, no prep, no supps, nada. Not anything much faster then that ;)

Picky Picky. I tried adding Natural Balance Beef roll. I would shred some up and put it in there food with some warm water. The first time I did it, they macked down their food. Now it just sits again all day. This is for my older boxers.

The new puppy wont eat the food dry. She insist I put canned down or won't eat. Oh boy. This whole feeding thing really gets to me.

The older boxers seem to eat better in the evening, but one is very skinny. If they only eat at night, they are only getting 2 cups of food a day.

My pup is probably only getting a total of about 11/2-2 cups per day. I really want them to eat. Grrrrrrrrrrrr.

I know there isn't much anyone can say to help other than to keep trying different foods. I feel like they run the show.
