| Is he eating well? At such a young age, you would not want to do a lot of food switching. I don't know the merits of Nutro but if he is eating and thriving; I probably wouldn't fool with switching at this point in time.

| Welcome to YorkieTalk. I would switch your puppy to another food, but do it slowly, especially if he is only 8 weeks old. Has he had a wellness check with your vet? Do that first and if he is doing well in all other regards, adjusting to his new home, choose a new food and start by giving 25% new and 75% Nutro. Gradually increase the new food if he tolerates it well. There are many great choices including, but not limited to: Wellness Merrick Before Grain Champion's Acana or Orijen Fromm Petcurean's Go! or Now! Taste of the Wild

| Be patient on the potty training. He is very, very young and his bladder has not matured.
