Most have you have met Josie, my purebred Australian Boarder Rottiba , what would you folks recommend as a good food for her?
She hasn't eaten much since we brought her home yesterday, which I attribute to stress, etc. My philosophy with pets has always been a (healthy) animal will never starve itself, which proved true today when she finally ate some puppy chow I bought her. The only reason I bought puppy chow was that she was a pound dog for a few months and I figured that was probably what she ate in "the joint", so I didn't want to exacerbate her stress by giving her a stomach ache with "rich" food.
Once she gets on a regular eat/poop schedule I want to feed her "good stuff", so I'm curious what you guys and gals use.
FWIW she's a medium sized 30 lbs-ish, and nice and fit. She could probably stand to gain a pound or two, but not much.
Iams? Hills? Stray cats?
Thanks for your continued good info!

P.S. What the heck is up with a dog that won't eat dog biscuits? Hell, I've eaten a dog biscuit and they aren't that bad This dog will NOT eat a Milk Bone or a Bil-Jac dry biscuit.
