I would suggest Fromm's, California Natural by Natura or the Halo line brand food https://halopets.com/products/halo-holistic-lamb-and-lamb-liver-recipe-adult-dogs You can also visit your local Natural pet food store for more suggestions since he likes a particular ingredient (i.e. Liver) hat is not found in many dog foods. It is best if the food is a senior diet as well since he is over the age of 7. Best of luck with your pe Sydney and finding a food that he enjoys! Take care. : )

You have a lot of flexibility since she's a young/middle age adult, and I'm assuming she's healthy. Basically any food made by a reputable company is going to be fine for her. There has been more and more evidence coming out recently that grain-free diets aren't healthy for dogs (linked to a particular type of heart failure called Dilated Cardiomyopathy) and raw food also presents risk of salmonella and e.coli to both the dog and family around the dog, so I'd generally recommend staying away from both of those options. The brands I like are Hills, Purina, and Royal Canin because they have veterinary nutritionists on staff, have good quality control, and generally make solid products. I hope that helps a bit!

The food looks good, however the starter diet is recommended for puppies up to 2 months of age, and if Bran is now five months old he should be switched to a different diet to meet his nutritional needs while he grows. It looks like Fidele offers a regular large puppy and lamb and rice puppy diet that would be appropriate to move Bran to until he is about a year of age, in which an adult diet should be given.

Ralphie looks like a real cutie! Yes, it will be fine to finish the food you already have and then switch him to an adult large breed diet. Make sure to transition him over to the adult diet over a 5-7 day time period to help avoid any GI upset. That means you will need to mix in the puppy food with the new adult dog food and gradually switch him over. Please feel to post any additional questions.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If the bag says it is for "All Life stages" then it is fine for growth (meaning for puppies). I would try to not add human foods. If your dogs won't eat this food well I would try a different brand or try adding water to the dry food or even add a tablespoon of canned food with water. Adding human foods is a slippery slope. Good luck!
