Whichever brand you decide on please remember that puppies need a different type of food than an adult dog, so you'd have to be feeding them different kinds until you puppy reaches about 8 months. I agree with your vet, no table scrapes. Dogs don't feel the same way about food as humans, they don't really care about "variety" or think, I wish I could have some of the chocolate cake she baked last Wednesday, they live in the moment, and while they might smell what your eating and want that, it's best if you say no. In a pack, the leader always gets the bests foods, so dogs can respect this concept, and it doesn't make them feel bad. The meats that you eat are often too fatty or salty for a dog, I have occasionally given Joey a bit of chicken breast meat, or a tiny tiny bit of lean steak as a treat, but it was more for me than him. If you can make a rule of "no table scraps" he'll probably be much healthier. I have learned that when I say "no" I feel better about myself, and his health, than when I give it. It's hard to be strong, but real love demands saying no. By the way, I really hate swearing in posts, please try to say what you want without the swear words, I know it's easy to get annoyed, but I don't think anyone is swearing at you.
