Hello,
My pup is 7 months, so far he was fed with ProPlan for a long time, and now I am feeding Diamond Naturals Large Breed. The first one made him itchy and his stools were never too firm. Now on Diamond Naturals his weigh increased, he stopped being itchy, but his stool is not firm yet.
Now, our, pup is kind of delicate (he had parvo when he was younger), but his vet thinks he should be weighing more, he is like 71 lb and they say he needs at least 9 pounds more. He is lean, and I believe at least 5 or 6 lb would not hurt. Anyway, I get diamond naturals online, from a website in Mexico City, but I live in a city in the north, and I would love to feed something locally available, would be much easier, and I would not be so stressed with delivery… Locally I can get Proplan, Royal Canin, Canidae Pure Foundations, Tier (Mexican brand first two ingredients are meal of chicken, and meal of fish), Lideratto (first ingredient meal of chicken and beef), Merrick and Instinct for ALS.
I am debating myself between:
Tier: First three ingredients are Meal of chicken and bone, meal of fish and bone, rice….. holistic food (really nice reviews). Has good levels of calcium and phosphorus.
Instinct: First ingredient is chicken meal, then tapioca… It is grain-free and that sort of scares me not sure why, I think protein is in a huge percentage.
Canidae Pure foundations puppy: First two ingredients are meals, third and fouth lentils and peas… Calcium is 1.6%.... Also grain free around 30% of protein…
I have also been considering Costco Kirkland foods (grain free or not)…
Any advice? Is there anyone feeding Instinct, if so, how much would a pup eat?
