I've been using Blue Buffalo for several years on different types of breeds and they've all responded well. I chose it initially because our vet recommended a wheat/corn/soy free diet for my beagle who was showing food sensitivity and he did so great with it that we have used it ever since for all of our dogs. I did observe the amount of poo is less (there are less fillers so the body absorbs more nutrients and there's less waste), and there is very little odor.

There are several great brands out there. It might take a little trial an error sometimes, but it's important to figure out what works best for your dog. I know Blue Buffalo struggles with kibble size. This hasn't been an issue for my doggies so far, but they do have a Small Breed Puppy Chicken and oatmeal formula that tends to be very gentle on the tummies.

I always read ingredients. I want the most wholesome and desirable ingredients listed first as these are the ones the food will have the most of.

For the rare times we've had an upset tummy, mostly because the beagle actively pursues and tries to eat anything with a scent!!! a dollop of yogurt with live cultures mixed in with the food also helps.

Hope you're able to get things figured out for your baby.
