However, I have a REAL PROBLEM and I hope someone can help me with advice. My chis WON'T eat any dry dog food and any canned dog food either. They are about five years old. Two males and a female. I read about the Chihuaha 28 on the blog and bought the larger bag for $21(3 pounds cost $15 so I thought it was not worthwhile). I read that the chis really LOVE it but mine won't touch it and they rather stay hungry. I am out of my wits about what to do. I fed them chicken and ground turkey until now that I bought at ALDI but I am old and cooking the food has become tiring. Can anyone suggest what I can do? I don't want my chis to starve to death.
