| Hi and Welcome! Hot Rod gets Innova Puppy. Sometimes I mix in Wellness can with his dinner. I also add different cooked veggies depending on what I have going for dinner...green beans, carrots, sweet potato, potato, peas, cauliflower, broccoli so far. I give him 2 tsps of organic vanilla yogurt for a snack midmorning. Breakfast I do the Innova Puppy, veggies and sometimes I put in some boiled egg (he loves eggs)-got that from Ellie May.

| I feed Pookie Innova Small Bites kibble and mix it with the Natures Variety raw beef. He loves it. He eats in the morning and in the evening. At lunch I give him a little bit of whatever meat I have on my plate. I chose the Innova because it is loaded with meat. Ultimately, I would like for him to eat a grain free, such as Orijen, EVO, Barking at the Moon, etc., but he doesn't like them. I've tried him on all of them. Innova has veggies in it also. No by-products, corn or other bad stuff. Go to dogfoodanalysis.com and you can read and learn about the good foods out there. Good luck! Ask questions, that's how you'll learn.

| I feed both of mine Merricks Puppy Plate. Before coming to YT, I fed Science Diet because I thought it was a great food. After doing lots of research and chatting on YT, I learned that maybe it isn't the best possible food I can be feeding. (It is full of lots of fillers) I used the website Dog Food Analysis - Reviews of kibble to compare foods. I decided on Merricks because it was a popular choice among YTers, it recieved great reviews on the above website, I personally have tasted ALL of the main ingrediants, and I am able to find it here in town.

| Kash gets both Merricks canned and dry food. i give him about 2-2 1/2 teaspoons of canned in the morning and at night (12 hour intervals)... and he gets dry food set out for him all day to eat when he's hungry. luckily, he doesn't binge. he just eats when he's hungry. he only gets one flavor of the dry because its all that's available locally. but i rotate through all the flavors of canned food. YT helped me decide to start feeding him Merricks. the breeder i got him from feeds her pups Purina ProPlan. i heard its not that great, so i switched him. he hasn't had any allergies from it, and he loves the taste. good luck!

| I feed Bella EVO canned (all varieties) 2x a day and Orijen puppy dry left out daily. I just switched from Innova Puppy canned and Chicken Soup dry. I find her coat condition has improved. |
