Dry food and nothing else. I go though this weekly with my dog. I send him to my Mother in laws while we are at work. She cooks for him. Then when I am off taking care of him he refuse to eat. I have learned, when he pulls this. Giving him nothing until he eats.
I prefer to mix the wet with the dry food too. But in this case just dry food. Poodles are smart so this may happen again.
Also the Beneful is alot cheaper at walmart. If that is what he likes then you keep giving it to him mixed much better with the dry food. I use ROYAL CAINE dry food. They have a selection special for poodles.
I know how you feel.. my moms dobie is picky like that but she finally found that it liked one kinda of alpo and thats it.. Pedigree also has country stew, which in my opinion actually smells pretty good :) weirdo i am.... maybe if you only give a different kind of food once in awhile, your dog might give in and eat it. And if you put the dry food out, and he doesnt like it, eventually he will eat it.
WHAT is wrong with feeding your dog decent food? My dogs have dry food out every day. They have two meals a day. They get expensive wet food in the a.m. and at dinner they get table food. I couldn't feed my dogs dry food and nothing else. They are not over weight and they are very healthy. I would not force my dogs to eat dry dog food and only dry food. I think that is cruel.
They also get treats and bones on a daily basis too.
That is very hard to do almost next to impossible , Once they get that taste they want it. I hope you can do it.You could try mixing it but sometimes they can even sniff the gourmet out. They are funny that way.
crush up the purina and maybe water it down so it's more like the expensive food. And this maybe sounds mean but take the expensive away 100%- he won't starve once his belly gets hungry enough he'll give in.
Why have a Dog if you can't afford to give it the best food posible.
These animals are like our children. My Winston, is on exspensive holistic dog food, which is suppose to be healthier for our animals. Treat these animals like you would want to be treated, so I say if you have to sacrfice a little here or there to make sure your baby is well taken care of, it will be worth it in the end.

just mix the expenisve food w/cheap dog food and day by day little by little just put cheap in there and not alot of expensive
just give him dry food and nothing else. he'll eat if he really gets hungry
SOMETIMES WE GIVE DOGS TOO MUCH CREDIT, I TOO MADE THE SAME MISTAKE BUT AFTER 3 DAYS OF DRY ONLY THE ANIMAL MUST EAT AND SHE ATE UP THE DRY, LEAVE A FEW CANS OF GOURMET AROUND FOR SPECIAL TREATS BUT DO NOT FEEL GUILTY IF THE PUPPY WONT EAT AT FIRST, LIKE ALL OF US, YOU EAT IT IF YOU ARE HUGRY. GOOD LUCK
just buy a burger off the dollar menu
you haven't completely messed up but its going to seem cruel but only give him the cheap food and he will get so hungry that he will have no choice but to eat it. but don't let it go for more than a say or you can even do like i do with my toy poodle i either soak her food with water until its soft or i will and some gravy to it. its cheaper and they still love it
i had the same problem what i did was i started giving her less of the wet food so she will be hungry and ate the dry one also there are other wet foods that are not that expensive and are chunky and not ground she loves it. buy the 12 packs is a lot cheaper that way and give only him couple a week so he appreciate it and you save also try different types of dry food you'll find one he loves and the treats is OK mine hates them.
