Thank you for contacting Boop by Petco with your question about Blue. If you don't have enough to make a slow transition, you will have to make do with what you have and hope the new food doesn't upset his stomach. Mix the foods together tonight, and then give him the new food in the morning. As an aside, I do not recommend feeding Blue Wilderness. It is a terrible food, and it's one of the foods linked to causing dilated cardiomyopathy in dogs. The FDA is investigating that link. You would be hard pressed to find any vet who recommends Blue Buffalo, as it causes many other issues such as hemorrhagic gastroenteritis. I would feed him a much better brand such as Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, Purina Pro Plan, or Iams. I hope this helps!

Hello. Any of the 3 will be fine. The problem with all 3 of these companies is they do absolutely no true feeding trials with their diets. All of their information comes out of a laboratory. There are basically only 3 companies that do actual feeding trials on living dogs, Hills, Royal Canin & Purina. If you want the best go with these, otherwise, any of the 3 you mentioned will be fine. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

I would not recommend blue buffalo as I have seen some negative side effects of their urine. One of my favorite more natural foods that dogs seem to like is natural balance limited ingredient diets. They have a lot of flavors. I hope this helps.

Every dog is a little different and you may have to experiment a bit to find the food that Roscoe tolerates the best. I don't know what your budget is, or what is specifically available in your area, but here are a few brand options: Natural Balance Taste of the Wild Merrick Canidae Most of these brands offer grain free treats as well. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

I personally do not like Blue Buffalo at all. They have had serious quality control problems which they have admitted due to the fact that they don't own their own factories. They therefore give the recipe to someone to make, and have no control over whether or not the recipe is followed exactly. Plus many colleagues have reported an increase in gas with this food. I would not recommend Blue Buffalo for Fiffy. As for the other two foods, between the two of them I would recommend the Nutro Max. It's a better quality food in my opinion. Just so you are aware, grains are beneficial to dogs and I do not recommend feeding a dog a grain free food unless they have a proven grain allergy, which isn't very common at all in dogs. Food allergies are the least common type of allergies in dogs, and when they do have a food allergy, it is most commonly related to protein not grain. There are very few dogs who have true grain allergies. It is beneficial for Fiffy's health to feed her grains
