Im new here so I have no idea if there are similar questions to mine but here it goes!

ok so I need to change their food to something more healthier specially for their teeth since Ive heard this kind of breed have many problems with their teeth later in life. Chewy is 7 pounds and he is VERY picky and he usually suffers from ear infections and sometimes it just goes away by itself in a day or two but sometimes it just gets so ugly cause he scratches and shakes his head very frequently. Vet said if it keeps on happening that I should change his food. Obi he is 9 pounds and he eats anything!!! lol so im sure he will be ok if I was to change their food. Right now they both eat (please don't judge) science diet dry small bites and I mix it with pedigree little champions wet food. They are not too crazy for dry only food but maybe because science diet is not that good dry! I bought this two because a friend told me those are good but Ive been reading that those two are really BAD : (
So what do you all think is a good food for them? can you share the exact name if possible. How should I go about on changing the food? I've been searching and so far im torn between

Taste of the Wild - Pacific Stream Canine Formula with Smoked Salmon - Dry Dog Food or California Natural Lamb Meal & Rice Adult Small Bites Dry Dog Food. but I don't know if this are good or If there is a better one, is there? is there such a thing as too much protein in their food? : )

-One question about their teeth I want to brush them as much possible but its so hard because none of them like to keep their mouth open : (. So how can I make this without me going ontop of them everytime? lol (sarcastically saying)

Thank you in advance : )
