I am still trying to find something that Coco will love. We have tried Wilderness but she was not havin' that stuff. She has been on BB Freedom for a while and in my opinion she eats it because it's what she is offered. I want her to have a good food that is preferably grain free. Now, nothing at all against Science Diet but this is one food that I wont feed her so that one is not an option. We have tried CC and she really did not like that one. I have read here that Fromm is really a good brand and with no recalls. That's always one thing I worry about. I want her to have a kibble so that its small for her to eat. I believe Orijen is supposed to be a good one also.
BB may actually be considered a rich food but i don't know. There is just something about that I personally don't feel that she gets excited about eating it. I want her to really enjoy her food. Heck, I want to enjoy my food also so why shouldn't she???
Thank you |
When people talk about "rich" dog food, I assume they mean the ones that are on the higher range of protein and fat that your dog won't need to eat as much of. Wellness Core is higher in protein/fat and calories than the grain-inclusive formulas so you probably wouldn't need to feed as much of it. My pup Teddy gets softer stools and even gassy on some higher protein foods but he did awesome on the Wellness Core Ocean formula with no issues. I think it's a great option.
You also mentioned Fromm...their grain-free kibbles are pretty small and most are like the size and shape of pencil erasers. We finished a bag of the GF Fromm Lamb and Lentil formula last month...those kibbles are shaped like actual little lambs and were very little...wish I had taken a picture...they were small/irregularly shaped and would have been easy for small mouths to pick up. Many say that Fromm is more "palatable" and great for picky dogs ...my pups certainly have enjoyed all of the formulas we've fed! And many stores selling Fromm will also have small sample bags available that you can get for your pup to try.
