nice one!
glad Benny has come round to it.Apparently because the raw food has less sugar/ additives than the canned stuff, it is less "addictive" and dogs tend to eat less of it (or be less "FEED ME FEED ME")
However, judging by the fact Bosco licks the pattern off the bowl at every meal time I call bollocks. -
Possible that the first time round he was just not feeling well? Or not hungry

lemonade

put out half a pack with a tiny bit of creme fraiche mixed in and a very light dusting of parmesan (which he is mad about) to try and entice him to get close enough to try it and to my surprise he actually started eating it once he'd licked all the nice stuff off... leaving an empty bowl.
I thought better not push it and put the rest out as he'll probably walk away and then it'll go off. but he sat by the bowl staring at me and licking his chops. I put a tiny bit more out without any fancy stuff and it vanished immediately. so I broke and put the rest out. he not only ate the lot but licked the bowl clean, he then went and found a chicken chew he had stashed in his bed in the dining room, ate that and then returned to give the bowl another licking.
it's absolutely baffling, this is how I had expected him to act when presented with a bowl of meat but first time around he literally would not even put one morsel of it in his mouth no matter what I mixed it with. If he keeps it up though I will be absolutely over the moon. the way he put away that 250g though I think the manufacturers feeding guide is a little pessimistic about how much he'll need per day. But I'll take it if we can get him eating on a regular schedule again.
