| I used to do dry food in the morning and wet at night. I got tired of the dirty faces from the wet (even after washing) and now do all dry. The wet can make their faces very messy.

| I feed Nutro Natural Ultra dry, but there are many quality foods out there for sale at pet stores, not grocery or department stores. Here is a link to help you recognize an inferior or superior dog food. http://www.holistic-hounds.com/AboutUs.html |

| Here's the Cesar ingredients - all the meats are by-products (what is left over and not fit for human consumption). I would not suggest you discontinue the Cesar right away even if it is junk. For a short time it's not going to hurt the puppy and it's more important that the puppy is eating. Changing homes is already stressful enough without changing the diet. Go ahead and buy a quality small kibble dry food and leave a bowl out and offer her that more as a treat than a meal and eventually get her on only the dry food. Sufficient water for processing, beef by-products, meat by-products, liver, poultry by-products, chicken, beef, calcium carbonate, sodium tripolyphosphate, carrageenan, dried yam, caramel coloring, xanthan gum, natural flavors, salt, erythorbic acid, guar gum, zinc sulfate, biotin, vitamin A, D3 and E supplements, yellow #5 & #6, sodium nitrite (for color retention), vitamin A, D3, and E supplements, d-calcium pantothenate, thiamine mononitrate (vitamin B1), copper sulfate, potassium iodide. |

| I feed mine Nutro Ultra and love it!! They love it too!!! Their poop don't stink as bad as before when I was feeding them Eukanuba...and a bag of the old stuff used to last me a while I guess because they didn't care for it. |

| I just switched Diesel's food. He was on Ultra Nutro Chicken Rice and Oatmeal. I switched his food because of the dried beet in the food was causing his eyes to really water. I switched him to Chicken Soup but he honestly doesn't like it. Then I tried Innova and man what a difference.He loves it! He also eats Evolve soft food. Good luck!

| Both of mine Love Royal Canin Both of mine Love Royal Canin, in fact it's the only one they will eat consistently! I used to change their food around b/c they were so picky, but I don't have the energy to cater to every whim of theirs? I went through feeding them by hand etc. I prefer it b/c it's such a high grade food that they don't pooh very often, just 2 x per day, and they both get alot of exercise every day so they are pretty muscular. I'm probablly the only one that uses it, since it's hard to find and quite pricey around my neck of the woods. But it works for me. |
