Feeding problem

Hi guys! I have a problem with my Pem 1 year old. He has never been fond of eating kibble food, however I have gotten him through his first year eating mostly Wellness & Merrick kibble. I feed him in the morning after a 30 min walk and in the night after a 15 min night walk.

The process for Fender to eat basically is: play with me so I can eat! He prefers to play than to eat. He is never hungry for his kibble. I will probably change te brand to Nature's Variety which has a LOT of meat content, so maybe that does the trick.

However I was thinking today in going to HEB and buying chicken and chicken broth, and cook for him that with rice and assorted veggies, and mix that with his kibble. Do you think that feeding him that might discourage even more his appetite for kibble?

Thanks!

I'd give him more canned or switch to raw, or if you want to start cooking for him, get this book:

It's very easy to follow, written by a holistic vet, and takes into account the supplements that you should add if you are going to 100% cook for your pet. I've started cooking for mine in addition to feeding Taste of the Wild--I'm not in a position yet to totally scrap commercial food, but I'm heading in that direction. Ragnar used to pick at his food, but now he gobbles it down.
