I tried to give Uni RC when I first got her thinking that was the best there. Well it is, at Petsmart. Even Petco has better brands now.

Uni is really picky and a friend told me about Honest Kitchen. You can get the "preference" and add your own protein to it, chicken fish or whatever you want (low fat though!). Uni is on the "verve" one she loves it. she barks and barks when it's time to eat. That's never happened before. She also has pancreatitis and this is the lowest fat food I have found 7.5 percent

If you do switch food, make sure you do it slowly.

I just switched Taycie to the Honest Kitchen and we LOVE IT! She gets so excited when I am mixing up her food! I am feeding her Thrive right now because she is a puppy only 7 months old. It is high in fat at 20 percent... Should i look at a different formula or do you think this level is ok for a 7 month old? The honest kitchen actually emailed me and also advised i switch once she hits a yr because of the high fat content and also because she is a yorkie and yorkie's are prone to pancreatitis. when I recieved this email I started to get nervous.. Do you think this is safe level of fat or should I start switching it up?

To be honest I was sprinkling Italian cheese on the puppy's food because they were not eating at all. They don't like kibble even though I mixed it with wet food. Now they are eating Health Extension without the cheese. They still wont eat kibble though.

I believe for puppies it is ok. the higher protien and fat contents are good for puppies and nursing mommies. At about 12 months, I'd switch her over to a lower fat one. Like I said, the "preference" one you can put in your own low fat meat and switch it up every now and then and they won't get bored.

I think Royal Canine is really aweful. But then again I feel that way about any big corp/large production kiddle producers. I use Acana, Great Life, Lotus, Life's Abund., and GO! Natural, Fromms is ok but not the best ... MUCH BETTER THAN RC thou! I used to recommend Blue Buffalo over many other large corp pet supply store foods. Use warm water to release more aroma from the food. at 10 weeks his teeth should be fine for kibble, especially now that he's more than 10 weeks. Good luck
