Nature's Variety Innova & Innova Evo Orijen Wellness Taste of the Wild Natual Balance Oh, I'm drawing a complete blank right now but there are many other good foods available. A lot of people recommend selecting a food rated four stars or higher on this website (looking under 'Reviews' will give you the ratings) www.dogfoodanalysis.com.

| You're welcome! I should also mention that there's a thread at the top of the Health & Diet forum about grading your dog food yourself. It also has listed several popular foods already pre-graded. I think Science Diet got an F? Most of the better foods will be found at pet 'boutique' type shops, or local feed/ag supply stores. Although, PetCo is now carrying Wellness and I think Natural Balance.

You could also feed an ALS formula (All Life Stages). This is what I do and I believe all of the Nature's Variety line (Prairie & Instinct) is for ALS. I've been very happy with NV. My yorkies range in age from 5 1/2 months to 13+ years and they all eat the same food and are healthy and they really love the food. I started feeding NV raw & Instinct kibble to the youngest when I first brought him home at almost 12 weeks. I believe YT user VivianSnickers feeds her pup NV Medallions and Innova Evo. We both feed the medallions for breakfast and leave the kibble out for free feeding during the day. Both the Instinct and the Evo are grain-free foods, btw. I first switched to this because of food allergies in my oldest. I'm sure you're going to get a lot of different and good suggestions. The most important thing is finding a food that you feel good about feeding, and that your baby will enjoy (mine LOVE mealtimes lol).

| Wow, what a vast amount of choices!!! I was a little overwhelmed but after doing some searching I think that I have decided to go with the Wellness. It seems that it is carried at Petco (which is about an hour away) and several other pet stores that are within 60 miles. Glad THAT decision is over. Thanks everyone!!! |
