I have always fed him Wellness. I wanted a food that had good ingredients with no grains or byproducts so I thought it would be okay for him. I will swap him to something else though. Do you have any suggestions on what I should try? |
I believe a cup is way too much for a 5.5 pound dog, especially with the addition of the treats. My 8 pounder eats three quarters cup of a food that is higher in calories, so he doesn't need as much, and he is an adult while yours is still a puppy, but still, I wouldn't give your guy a full cup of any food.
Maybe someone else can suggest a means to hide the probiotic powder, something other than kibble.
Some other food possibilities that are grain free and good: Orijen, Acana, Merrick Before Grain, Go! Grain Free Endurance Formula, Fromm Surf and Turf. There are many more and other people can make some suggestions. If you have a pet food specialty shop in your area, they are often willing to give you free samples.
