Well, it is, but not so much....He's 6mo old right now and I figured as long as he reacts well to the Wellness brand, we'll stick with it and then once he turns 8-9mo. we can change over to Wellness Core since it's grainless (which seems to be an admirable quality in dog food) and has a nice protein value. If I had my choice, I'd home cook for him, but that's just not in the cards right now. Is that what I should do? |
Royal Canin has caused quite a few dogs to be itchy on YT - so I'm not surprised to hear this. Wellness makes some really nice kibbles - esp. the Wellness Core - it's a mid-level protein, and they showed a little more restraint in tossing in a bajillion ingredients, which is good. Grainless is EXCELLENT. It could take a good 3-6 weeks to see the full value of the change, so hang in there if you don't see a huge change immediately. Plus, it's "itchy season" right now too.
