I did a search about this and found mixed opinions so I wanted to ask again. What do you guys think? Do you think it's a good idea to change foods that often? Does it make them picky?
Also. The feed store I buy Franklin's food at is closing so I have to drive like 30 minutes to get his food now. I want to switch to something I can find closer. Petco has Avoderm, Nutro Ultra, Solid Gold, and Natural Balance. I'm leaning towards the Solid Gold or Natural Balance. Which would you recommend? |
I would not recommend Avoderm because of the avocado in it. When they say to switch food they mean switch to foods with different ingredients. Solid Gold and Natural Balance have different types. You could switch to a lamb and rice for awhile and then go to a chicken and rice or maybe a bison flavor. I think sometimes they do get picky. I have tried Solid Gold and Natural Balance both and mine always seem to prefer Canidae All Life Stages. Sometimes I will use the Canidae Lamb and Rice for awhile. None of mine like any of the fish based dog foods. You could also look into buying from Pet Food Direct. With the price of gas being what it is, it might be simpler to have it shipped to your house. Let us know what you do and how Franklin likes the different foods.
