That's good to know about the protein.  I saw a few that I wanted to try on that site that scores the food 6 stars and down, but most of it says not suitable for puppies because of the high protein. I will definatly look at the ones you recommended at the store tomorrow. ( I found a pet store that pretty much carries most of the top quality foods.)
I think as far as the chicken broth I will just stick with the nutrical.
How long should I wait before the switch?
Cause at the rate she eats it will be a long time before the 5 pound bag is finished. 
Thank you for the info. |
I say, ask your vet to see what they think is good. If you feel like you need to, take in a copy of the nutritionals on the foods you're thinking of and let the vet tell you what they think and WHY. My two have been on what the vet recommended and I haven't had ONE single problem since putting each of them on it....I may have to change at least one of theirs, b/c I think he's got an allergy, but I know that neither of mine have any stomach upsets anymore or any poopy problems any longer. It's when I start letting them have other things that we start having "issues". And most sites will tell you to change foods slowly by adding a small amount of the new food to the old food, decreasing the old food over a period of a couple of weeks at least. I can attest that it's not a good idea to do it anymore quickly than that.
Congratulations for getting your new little one home and all the best luck!
