Talking Marley won't eat Canidae dry??

Marley is 6 1/2 months old now, and he won't eat his Canidae plain.

Let me explain... Marley did not come from a reputable breeder, and he was significantly underwight due to whip and hook worms. He has finally caught up...he was 62 pounds today which I am so happy about. His growth has been very slow but steady. B/c he was so underweight we were advised to give him a few tablespoons of wet food in with his dry food to help him slowly catch up. It has worked and I want to stop doing that now. He looks great, he feels very lean and just right, IMO and the vet's opinion. I do NOT want an overweight dog.

However, I have been trying to give Marley his food just dry now and he will not eat it. He has been having a mix for almost as long as we've had him. Is there anything else that I might be able to mix into his food that might help him to eat his food, other than something so high in calories?? I have done some reading on this board and Marley also gets pretty gassy from the Canidae..is cottage cheese something I should consider?

Or do you think I should look into a new food that he likes dry and does not give him such gas??

Thank you very much for reading and helping me to solve this food dilema.
