I also wanted to add, I'd NEVER recommend changing any furkids food over over cold turkey, I'd always done it over a weeks to two weeks period of time, but with Mags, she wasn't eating the puppy chow properly and I also hated her being on such a crappy food. Thank God it worked and didn't back fire in my face, but I HAD to go cold turkey and switched Mags to Wellness Super 5 Mix Just For Puppies. If your lil one is eating though and you're not having any issues, I'd leave well enough alone and let him stay on it until he's older, and then very slowly switch him to a food you'd like him to be on. When Mags turned 2 years old, I tried switching her from the puppy Wellness food to the adult Wellness food and she ended up in the ICU with IV's in her :-( Doc said her said her system just couldn't handle the change and to leave her on the puppy frmula the rest of her life. At age 5 years, she started turning into a lil porker though, and cutting back the amount I was feeding her left her hungry, so, with lots of prayer, I started VERRRRRYYYY slowly switching her to the Wellness Super 5 Mix Adult Health For Small Breeds, so far, she's doing good, but when I say very slowly, I mean, so far, I've been switching her food for a lil over a 2 month period and we still aren't all the way switched over. I'm doing it so slowly it'll probably take another month or two months to switch her over completely, just depends on how she does and what her stools look like. Good luck to you and your lil one.
