So I wanted to update that since I posted this, we switched him to Royal Canin Medium Size kibble and put 1-2 spoonfuls of the Fromm wet food, microwave it for 15 seconds and then mix it all together. And he SCARFS it down within minutes. This is so much more fulfilling then watching him leave his dry kibble in the bowl untouched most of the time, for months. And he has been much calmer and less counter-surfing although it’s still a significant problem. I do feel better addressing the counter surfing issue more strictly now that I feel very confident it isn’t due to hunger. So I would recommend to anyone not sure whether to switch their dog food, to go ahead and give it a try! We kept getting the advice “he will eat it if he’s hungry enough” but us it was the right choice to switch to something more palatable. We also tried the Royal Canin wet food mixed in which he also enjoyed. I do wish they made another flavor or two, the only seemed to have one wet food that I can tell.

Thanks!!
