| Just had to share my Innova Incident!!!! Yesterday I stopped at my local pet center and was going to buy some Innova puppy food due to the many suggestions here on YT. They gave me some samples of the Innova to try. When I got home I mixed what was left of the Eukanuba and one sample pack of the Innova, and gave Parker a bowl. I couldn't call him away from it!!! I finally had to put his bowl where he couldn't reach it!!! When I set it back on the floor, he dove back in.... after watching him for a few minutes, we noticed that he was separating the Eukanuba from the Innova, and just eating the Innova.... He won't even touch the Eukanuba anymore, just spits it out. IMO that is enough to make me change his food! He loves it! I just wanted to share this funny and cute incident and put my vote in on Innova!!!

| That happened to me 2!! I bought Lucky some Innova & mixed it w/ Wellness & he picked all the Innova out! I accidentally spilled some of the bag on the kitchen floor & he was like a hoover trying to eat it all before I cleaned it up! I still plan on mixing the 2, so hopefully he will eat both! Glad your baby likes it 2, because its a great food!

| I've heard and read so many great things about Innova! I'm considering switching Bridget over when her current food (Royal Canin) runs out. She eats the RC okay, but doesn't seem to enjoy it - just eats cause she's hungry. I'd like her to enjoy her food ya know? She's not a big eater to begin with and sometimes I have to hand feed to get her to eat. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone could recommend the best way to do a food change. Do you do it cold turkey, mix together? What's the best way to transition them over to a new food - I don't want to upset her little system. |

| What a Hoot. These babies are so funny. And they know what they like and don't like. I am putting my Dollie on Innova as soon as her little mouth is not so sore from having the teeth extracted. Thanks for the input.

| It is better to mix the foods together then gradually reduce the amount of the "old" food and wean them off of it, instead of just switching cold turkey

| Hey guys! I also have my two on Innova Puppy ... they love it! I posted this couple of days back: OMG .... so since there has been so much debate on here about different foods I decided to do test panel of my own... I went to my local health food store for animals..."Animals Galore" and I picked up sample bags of:[ 1. Innova 2. Wellness 3. California Natural 4. Healthwise 5.Merrick Well I did a doggies buffet with all of these foods lined up and labeled and they went CRAZY CRAZY over INNOVA Puppy Food!! In order they loved these top three: 1. Innova 2. California Natural 3. Healthwise And little did I know is that Natura manufactures all of these just different ingredients to fit different budgets!!! I encourage anyone that hasn't tried this line to do so it is the best~~!!! IMHO |

| Yep, Tatum LOVES her Innova too. Usually, you see this kind of reaction to a new food just because they are excited for a change but she's been on it for about 4 bags worth (can't remember how long in time it's been) and still loves it! It was real hard to switch her gradually from her old one because when I did mix them, she just picked out the Innova. Hope we don't hear anything bad about this one now!

| Bailey does that also, when I mix in a new food, I think they are SO happy to have something new.. imagine eating the same thing day after day,, evntually he gets tired of the new and eats the old with it.
