I just cut out an article which I intend to show to my mother who
can't seem to please her overweight,finicky eating dog.  I thought 
it would be of some interest to the net. It is quoted from the Seattle 
Post-Intelligencer Jan. 6th, 1986.

Most dogs are overfed by overzealous owners, says Dr. Tom Willard, a
pet food company official.
Willard, who has a Ph.D. in animal nutrition, says owners often relate
what they like with what they think a dog would like.  
"Dogs are creatures of habit and frequent diet or food changes can
cause the dog to become a picky eater," he explains.  "This encourages
the owner to try different additives or supplements, which further
complicate the problem...

I guess what this would recommend is to pick a high quality dog food
with great care and then stick with it, sales or no sales.
