| I feed my dogs Iams Lamb and Rice. Rika was eating adult food from the moment she was brought home, but only cuz she'd sneak it out of my other dog's food bowl. LOL. She was raised on Eukanuba though.

| Maximus eats Innova puppy....I believe as per my vet that you should begin to wean them onto adult food at 8 months....by slowly mixing old food with new food for a week!!!

| Royal Canin mini-28 I have Artie, he is a year and 7 months old, he is a very finicky eater. But the only kibble he will eat is Royal Canin mini-28. I have heard all the arguments but it is the one kibble he will consistently eat. Abigail is almost 6 months old now, I did have her on the Royal Canin Puppy Formula, but she will only eat the Royal Canin mini-28 as well. I leave 2 bowls out, all day they each hold 1 cup of kibble. I will refill every morning, so that there is always 1 full cup. I give both of them nutri-cal every morning, as well as malt-o-meal prepared with a little honey and skim milk. They may also eat chicken breast, salmon or steak. Depending on what I'm eating? Very small portions only! More like treat size. Artie weighs 8.5 lbs. and Abi is 7.5 lbs. both look very compact, very lean and more muscular, they are very healthy and alert without being hyper or high strung. Strong and sturdy. I run them every morning on the Beach or at our local Dog Park and every night they are walked so they get a lot of exercise. |

| I read a lot of information about dog food, I feed my dog Innova, not EVO Innova, because I found kind of too much fat in it, I feed regular Innova small bites (green pack) It has Crude Protein 24.0%, Crude Fat 14.0% and other healthful ingredients. It's 3 Kg- 6,6 pound bag $11.99 |

| I Feed all three of my kiddies Innova EVO. I believe that as puppies/babies.. They need all the fat they can get because regular or adult food will not give them enough. That's why I like Innova EVO.. plus the kibbles are smaller and my three tend to eat it better. |
