It has been my experience, store clerks or product reps stocking shelves in the store, are more interested in a profit margin and moving inventory, than what is best for your particular baby....besides he has NO idea on any health issues your baby may have. I personally do not like wet food.....I like hard kibble for dental effects, as well as the stools produced, but that is my preference, and what I recommend to my new owners.....I prefer small, solid, less frequent stools that wont knock a buzzard off a gut wagon with the odor!
