Hi there and thank you for your post! It may be that he is particular about textures. With dogs like this I recommend trying multiple different formulas of food and trying different sized kibble such as small versus large or large versus small bites. It may also be worth trying canned food versus dry food. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.
