I personally recommend Eukanuba. I do not like Blue Buffalo at all, I've seen a number of dogs have health issues on it such as gastroenteritis, plus there is no quality control over their food. They do not own their own factories and send their recipes to other factories to make it. Finally, they do not have a veterinary nutritionist on staff to make sure the food is nutritionally balanced like Eukanuba has. I definitely would buy her Eukanuba. I hope this helps, and enjoy your new puppy!

Eukanuba is an excellent food. In my professional opinion, I don't think you need to worry too much about that 1%. You can add a hard boiled egg to the food for an easy way to add protein, probably once every other day would be fine. Or, ask your vet if he/she has a preference for a supplemental protein source since they made the 30% protein recommendation. Thank your asking Boop by Petco !

Eukanuba is a great food, I recommend it! Given that she is year old, I would transition her to an adult food. As for the dandruff, she could simply have dry skin. You can try giving her vitamin E supplements or a vitamin E bath, which will help with the dry skin.

Any food that has an AAFCO certification label on the bag has been tested to be well balanced. And any food that is labeled for puppies is designed to support growth. So I would go with a small breed, puppy dog food with an AAFCO label. I really like the following brands: Royal Canin, Hill's Science diet, Evo, and Eukanuba. Best wishes taking care of your new puppy. And don't forget that vaccinations usually start around 8 weeks of age, so schedule an appt with your veterinarian soon if you haven't done so already. Take care.

Yes, that food is fine. I would recommend that you transition the foods over 2-4 weeks to avoid upsetting the stomach. You can mix them together slowly until it is only the Eukanuba. Some dogs don't have a sensitive stomach and switching between foods suddenly doesn't cause any issues.
