| Which Kind of Dog Food? My breeder had Tucker on Eukanuba. I know it's been around forever. Is there another kind which puppies seem to like more? Tucker's Mom |

BANNED! | My pups were given Holistic Health Extension Little Bites and they both seem to love it. But my pups seem to like everything. and Once a day I mix half of Cesare for both of them so they get alittle bit of soft and hard food =) Last edited by ILoveBingoo; 03-25-2009 at 09:49 AM. |

| Snickers was on Merrick Puppy Plate and did well. I also recommend Wellness Just for Puppies, Innova Puppy, Artemis Small Breed Puppy, Orijen Puppy, & Solid Gold Hundchen Flocken Puppy. Congrats on your new baby and welcome!!

| We bought our puppy a few weeks ago and our breeder told us to feed him NUTRO™ Dog Food | Premium Dog Nutrition (Nutro Natural Choice) the dry food for puppies. He seems to like it...so does our 4 year old as well!!!! |

| Some places will give you samples...that way you can see what your baby likes for a few days. I wish you were near me...I have a closet full of food I bought before finding Snickers perfect food. I need to donate it!!

| I really wouldn't switch to Nutro. Consumer Affairs is reported probably 100's of dogs who have gotten sick or died while eating it.

I have to agree. I myself used Nutro when Sasha was a puppy and also about 1 1/2 bags of the adult before I joined this site and learned that it really isn't all that great. Now I'm using Natural Balance & Wellness, rotating between flavors to keep her interested. I also add in a bit of canned food as well which she loves. | |

| I've never fed Nutro , however heard of dogs dying from eating it. that was enough for me to never feed it. I chose to feed Suzi By nature. She loves the Kibble and canned foods. The variety is great too.

| I've been trying everything, Natural Balance & Wellness, Innova Puppy,Eukanuba,Healty life Natural, Iams and Merrick Puppy Plate~it looked sooo good to me??? . The food they "liked" best is Cesar but myVet does not like them on it,too much sodium and they need crunchy kibble, but they had to eat something besides pig ears!...Well they started sticking their nose up at that also so my vet talked me into Science Diet... as I sit here and type I am dropping a hand full at a time on the floor and they are gobbling it up..(they wont eat out of a bowl and I have to be near them B4 they will eat ANYTHING) I am keeping my fingers crossed they continue to eat it....
