I just got 2 new puppies and I wasn't all that impressed with what they were being fed but after reading on here about so many puppies getting sick after their food was changed. Talking with members who said do not change their food, it isn't worth it. I am sticking with what they are on until they are ready for adult food and then I will put them on what they are on. The royal Canin is not a bad food really. I would leave the puppy on it. No point in them refusing to eat and then you have a very sick puppy.

I had a very sick puppy because my little boy puppy got into something. I personally think he got into some cat poop in the yard, and it was infected with Giardia and that is how he got it. The little stinker just finds what I call "cat truffles" and won't leave them alone and I think that is how he got sick.

I would hate to have switched their food and ended up with a sick puppy. Mine is doing great now, but I am just leaving them on the the same food they were on until they are grown and then getting what I want to get for them, and my older Yorkie as well.

Have fun with your new puppy! Remember that going to a new home is very stressful and switching foods only adds more stress. If you do decide to switch foods, I would wait at least 3 months, and then at that point they are only a couple months away from adult food, which is why I am sticking with what I am feeding mine until then. I took 2 puppies, so their transition was a little easier as they have each other.
