Wife just got home with his new food and Brenda had included 2 cans of their soft food as well . I mixed a little of the soft food in with his dry and he loved it ! He even growled a little when I went to pull him away to add some more , well I nipped that in the bud . He has never been food aggressive before and later I picked his bowl up again without a prob so I think he really enjoyed his new food !
