| Innova, California Natural, Royal Canine, Wellness, Solid Gold...any food that the wellness dog journal says is goos..if you look up "food recommendations" in the search field it will pull up the whole thtead about good and bad foods....STAY away from foods with by-products and supermarket brand foods

| I feed Chewy Natural Balance and he loves it. The only thing is that the kibbles are a little bigger than, say, Royal Canin. Chewy is 4 months and he has been able to eat it for a little while now. They also have soft meat rolls which he loooooves, but watch out they can get a little pudgy on them!! It is very important to get puppy onto a good food. You will be able to alleviate some problems that the lesser brands with fillers can cause like skin itching, dandruff, poo problems, etc...Plus it's just healthier for them. |

| It's true about the natural balance rolls...I was giving them to Maximus when he was eating the royal canin as a treat..he he and he blew up.. Chewy's mom: I wasn't aware that they make kibble for puppies?..where do you get the kibble..I have never seen it..I am feeding Innova now but it is so far from where I live

| Can you get it shipped to your house? Do any of the big pet stores carry it? It would be a shame to change him if he's happy. |

| No they don't sell online or ship it..it can only be bought at an "Nutra" Innova approved pet food store....Maximus Loved the rolls and I would feed them full time except my vet said to wait since he is still a puppy...but I bought a 16lb. bag of Innova last time so I could gradually mix in the natural balance kibble and see if he likes it..otherwise we will take the trip...I think it was the size of the Innova kibble that freaked him out last time..but since he started eating it full time he now enjoys it..but I notice he seems to poop more??
