@joshuajones Honestly? You are way overthinking this. Purina (and Royal canin and hill's) have carried out decades of in depth scientific research on the varying needs of dogs based on size and age. I think the only better option than a wsava large breed food would be a joint specific one from...

@amd358 Maybe you should quiet down since you clearly have no clue what you're talking about

@jb131 If you feel your dog is underweight, first of all speak to your vet to rule out any health issues making him lose weight, establish if he actually is underweight, and the best way to resolve this. Feeding toppers is a slippery slope as it can make them picky, and unbalance their diet if...

@n0ble207 My pom is on hill's science plan. It's a good well established science backed food formulated with input from board certified veterinary nutritionists

@onlyoneway If your dog wasn't having issues with dog chow I'd stick with that. Brands like Farmina don't have the research and experience behind them that Purina do. Raw can cause bacteria like salmonella and e coli which also pose a risk to humans. It can also harbour parasites. There's no...

@adebamigbe I don't know why you are anti purina but honestly their pro plan or beta with salmon sounds like a good fit. I don't know about the calorie content but it's not the end of the world if you need to feed less than the package directions

@tumrub Smaller dogs have a higher metabolism than larger dogs so size specific food accounts for that. If you can its best to feed food designed for your dog's size/weight. There's no "right" brand to feed among them. Whatever works best for your dog is fine, every dog is different

@jjerry The owner says they do small training exercises throughout the day, for which they use treats. I was suggesting using toys for enrichment instead. If she knows she gets treats eventually she will hold out. If you are an experienced, professional trainer you should know its not always...

@helpinghand101 Have you tried puzzle feeders? Or training using toys? Honestly I think sorting this food aversion out trumps enrichment training as long as she doesn't have any mega problematic behaviours to sort out. If it isn't nipped now it will be a life long thing... ask me how I know!

@helpinghand101 It's tough with picky eaters but you just have to be more stubborn than them. By switching or adding toppers when she starts turning her nose up she will keep doing it forever because she knows she will get something even better than the last one. Pick a food and stick to it. If...
