Okay What do you all think. Artemis or Dick van patten food from petco. My little pup hates his science diet so I ordered Artemis which is taking forever to get here. ughhh! The only food at petco I would try is the dick van patten food but Im curious if this is a good food for my puppy: he itches and has watery eyes(Im sure from the crappy science diet). So what do you all think? Does anyone currently feed Dick van patten puppy food? I know.. I know homecooked would be the best, I just dont have that kind of time since Ive started nursing school.

dick van patten is good, it doesn't have wheat or corn or other grains in it... it's good... i'm thinking of switching to that from royal canin myself

Theres 2 kinds, Dick Van Patten's Natural Balance Ultra Premium Dog Food small bites and Dick Van Patten's Natural Balance Small Bites Potato & Duck Formula Dog Food, do u know which one to get?

Yeah im gonna try the artemis but its to expensive. No one around here sells it. The nearest place is Austin which is 4 hours from here. So when I ordered it online it as 12 bucks but then 12 for shipping. To much money, especially since I want a good cat food as well.

We got the DVP's Natural Balance, the babies LOVE it!

So far no ill effects, I want to give it a few weeks to see how their skin/coat respond to this food.

I'm going to have to check these out, I want to find a good food for Ava!

Natural Balance would be my choice.

We are on the potato and Duck. Its the ONLY kibble my babies will eat and they are doing great on it. Georgetown has a dog boutique that carries ALL dog food and alot of good treats too.

Yeah I bought the blue bag this morning of NB. They said the blue bag was for small breeds so I bought that one. I guess if he doesnt like it ill try the duck one. Is the Duck one (orange bag) for allergies oo?
