| Where to buy premium dog food? (Artemis or Innova) Hi - I am getting a new puppy in 1.5 weeks! After researching the dry puppy foods available, I have narrowed it down to either Artemis Company's Fresh Mix Small Breed Puppy - or Naturapet Innova Dry Puppy Food. Both are 5 star premium dog foods according to Dog Food Analysis - Reviews of kibble. First question: -Would you recommend one of these brands over the other? Second question: -I don't think you can get these at PetCo, PetSmart, or Pet Supplies Plus. (Maybe I can get the Innova brand at Pet Supplies Plus? Not sure...I have to call tomorrow to find out.) Is my only option to order online? Where is everyone getting their premium dog food? I live in Chicago. Thanks for your advice! |

| Both are good foods. You can go to their websites and type in your zip code and find the closest store available that sells it. You'd be surprised at what stores probably sell it. I fed Innova to Jackson for a little while and he seemed to like it at first but grew tired of it very quickly. He's a very picky eater though and now he's been eating Nature's Variety Instinct for 2 months and LOVES it. It's his favorite food, by far. Artemis sent me a boat load of free samples of the puppy food, it was literally a box. I got like 10 little bags. So I'd recommend requesting some samples from them.

| If you have any healthy pets stores I would call them and ask. I have found that they are not all always shown on sites. For example: Acana did not have any stores selling it listed for the state of MD and yet I found it at 2 stores within 15 min away.

| Artemis Hi- I buy Artemis on petfooddirect.com - they always have coupon codes and ships very quickly - I cannot find it anywhere near where I live. Good luck with your puppy! |

| I would def go with the Innova....check this thread out: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...thoxyquin.html Artemis is manufactured in the Diamond Pet Food Plant and they use chemicals to preserve their fish. Be careful!! Even if Artemis doesn't have fish in the formula you want, I'm not sure I would be ok with purchasing dog food from a company which uses potentially harmful products in their foods. Innova is a great company (Natura.) My Snickers was on Evo for a long time but we switched recently due to his boredom. Now he is on Acana grainfree and they also have a puppy formula if you're interested. Best of luck to you -Snick & Viv
