The canned food made him gassy. You have to get the right mix. Mine can't have canned every day, but every other day is OK.

For kibble - Canidae, Merrick, Innova or Orijen
For canned - Merrick or Evangers

You'll need to go to a specialty pet store, not like a big box Petsmart. Also all of those will send you samples or coupons if you ask.

For picky eaters don't get the nasty IAMS gravy. I recommend the liver biscotti sprinkles. I carry them on my site. But, how old is he? Could he be teething? Try adding a bit of good quality chicken to soften the kibble. Or, try yogurt or 100% canned pumpkin. Canned food is FINE to feed if you get a good quality food, but you definitely want him to get used to eating kibble now so he doesn't turn into a picky eater later. Loki went through all sorts of issues where he didn't like the bowl we had for him, but he would eat it off the plate or the floor or out of my hand. Try experimenting and something might work.
