I've fed both brands and had good results with BB and Wellness...I think they're pretty similar. We have fed various BB lines/formulas to 4 different dogs in our family and they all did well. The downside is that I do think it's kind of expensive for what it is (you can get other foods of similar quality that are also most cost effective) but I like to grab some of the wet food when it goes on sale. You mentioned garlic in their formulas....Garlic makes food more palatable and in small amounts may have some health benefits but can be toxic in large amounts. It's not something I add to my pups' meals but I have used various dog foods that contain it...I guess I'm not really concerned since I rotate foods and most of them don't contain garlic.
Wellness is also very good...Toki used to be on the Wellness Core Reduced Fat and Teddy did awesome on the Wellness Core Ocean (great coat, improved body condition) formula. I haven't fed any of their other kibble lines but I use a lot of their canned formulas as well with no issues.
I wish I could offer more advice in terms of the poop-eating though...not sure what the cause of that is but hopefully others can chime in with their experiences and knowledge. |
