| Very confused.....
Ok, i have a 4 month old female rottie pup. the breeder had her on purina, and i switched her right away to Iams....i've never owned a rottie, so this is all new to me. anyway, shes been doing alright, but shes up to 4 cups of food a day now. we recently hired a trainer to come and help us out because we've been having some issues with her and my kids...the trainer explained to us the importance of a better quality food, and i've been doing my research and i'm going to switch her food. I've decided on either Canidae, Innova, or Wellness....but i'm not really sure which is the best! i am on a budget, so i cant really pay $50 for a 20lb bag, but i'm paying about $25-27 for the Iams now, so i would like to keep it around the same price. and reading all the posts in here, i'm getting confused! should i feed her puppy food, or go with adult food? and because its a higher quality food, do i feed her less than i am now? I just feel like there are so many options, and i'm lost! my vet was the one who reccommened Science Diet or Iams, so i'm not really trusting her opinion on food anymore! also, i just bought a 20lb bag of my old food....should i let her finish it before i switch her? and how long should i transition her to her new food? i would just love to have some facts so i can make the best decision for my girl to keep her healty and happy! thanks in advance for reading my way too long post!  |
