Okay, Ive done some searches about this, but still need some help, so any I get will be much appreciated. I have a new almost 6 month old yorkie boy, Hunter. Of course I want him to be on the best diet possible, so I have been trying to do lots of research. The breeder had him on grammy's mix of Merricks. The vet told me I should have him on puppy food, so I have been slowly switching him over to Merrick's puppy plate dry, which he has available all day, and I mix a little canned in twice a day. I am very interested in NV, though, because I am all the time worried about these manufacturing problems. I am a little confused though, in my research. What are the real differences in the instinct, prairie, and the raw? Is one better than the other? I saw where some mixed between them, but feed at different times of day b/c of the digesting time? And the vet said a puppy should be on puppy food b/c of energy and nutrition requirements, so would these meet those? I would def. like to give it a shot...it seems great, the decreased bowel movements, then dental benefits, but it does seem pricey. So if do start Hunter with a switch, is there a formula you recommend I try first so I am not just blindly buying. Again, sorry for all the questions, love all the info. on this site and can't wait for your feedback. Thanks!!
