| How long have you had the baby? I am not an advocate of getting a brand new baby, and while they are trying to adjust to loosing everything in their little life that has been familiar to them, and they are trying to adjust to all new environment and people and schedule, the only thing that baby has that he can relate to is the food the breeder had him on.....so I would leave him on what the breeder had him on until he is at least 12 weeks old...and has adjusted to his new home.....then you can slowly change his diet to whatever you decide on. (My babies are still with their mommas, nursing, at 8 weeks of age....my babies are not released to new homes until at least 14 weeks of age, after they are weaned....) |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | I personally would not feed Bil Jack. If that's what the breeder was feeding, then wait a few weeks until he adjusts - and then switch to a better quality food. Maybe get Wellness from PetSmart?

| Some don't know they should stay with there moms until 12 weeks which would worry about the other things they don't know and some just don't care and just want the money.

| That tells you so much about them. I hate it when people only care about the money.

All of this turned around after I switched him to a different food (I want to say it was Wellness Core that I put him on first...I can't remember for certain). I think a lot of him not doing well on NB had to do with him needing such a large amount of the food (which he wasn't getting prior to living with us) to support his growth and body condition. With that being said, I do like NB for some dogs. My parents feed this to their beagle who is very sensitive and she does really well on the Natural Balance LID formulas. And I like to use the sample bags of this to supplement Toki's canned/wet food from time to time. | |
