| The BEST dog food is the one that works best for your dog. What brand is your dog currently eating? There are so many choices, including: Orijen Acana Fromm Petcurean's Go! and Now! Taste of the Wild Wellness Merrick Before Grain Castor & Pollux Pre-made raw: Primal, Nature's Variety, Stella & Chewy's Everyone has their favorite.

| I would opt for pre-made raw to provide what (I think) is the best & healthiest diet. I have used Nature's Variety for about 7 years now with Vinnie and it has been wonderful. We also sometimes use Stella & Chewy's or Primal. All are very good. I would try each and just see what your little guy likes the best. I also home cook food for them (raw meat, veggies, bone), but that can be very time consuming, so I supplement with the pre-made raw, especially for mornings when I have to get to work.

| I have been Nutro and my dog vomits after every meal so for now we have been given him small pieces of chicken and meat. I'm going to return the bag back to the store. |

After that, you can transition them to the same food your older one eats.

| I feed Taste of the Wild roasted fowl and my dogs love it. The kibble is small enough that even my littlest one can eat it. It's also reasonably priced and for all life stages.

Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | That's a good idea...If a dog is throwing up after every meal, that's a really bad sign... after trying alot of different foods.. We have settled on Orijen kibble and premade raw by Primal or Nature Variety. She has had no trouble at all

YT 1000 Club Member | I feed mine blue buffalo but I am going to change on suggestion of my vet. Charlie got sick and he said he had several dogs with the same virus on it and suggested I change. I'm going to try something else...prolly either Acana or Taste of the Wild.
