Hi there,

Not a huge fan of either of those, but first if you switch I recommend you do it slowly.

Second, take a look at the ingredients (I don't want to brand bash, just want to provide some information). You want to assure there are absolutely NO bi-products. with bi-products it means anything can be in there. so for example chicken bi-product = bad, chicken meal or just straight up chicken is ok. The first 3 ingredients of your puppy's food make up the majority of it's ingredients (% wise). So your first three ingredients should have at least one main meat usually chicken. Corn or grains are fillers, some furbabies don't take well to corn and need a grain free diet (mine was one of them) If corn is in the first three ingredients then you will most likely have to feed a lot more kibble to get equal nutrients that you would if you were feeding a more high quality feed. I didn't realize it until I switched how much I saved $$ by switching. It would have taken Harley 1/2 a cup of his Royal Canin, to reach the nutrients of 1/4 cup of his Now! He can only eat 1/4 cup a day so he wasn't getting enough nutrients. By having to feed him less, it actually saved me money by switching to a high quality feed. Consider this information before choosing what you want to switch to.

And please fellow YTers if I made an error in the nutrition talk above, please correct me. it's been about 10 months since I picked my food out for Harley...

I'm not meaning to brand bash or anything, I'm just not a fan of those large companies who do not specialize in dog food or at least pet food. For example:
Mars Inc makes Royal Canin
Nestle makes Purina
Collgate makes Science Diet
Proctor & Gamble makes Iams
These are the top for global pet food providers, and not one of them "specializes" (source Agriculture & Agrifood Canada)

There is a great link that is "sicky" in the health and diet section listing healthy foods, that are made by companies who specialize in pet food.
