What food benefits are best for my large or giant breed dog?

I would say Joey is a large breed dog based on his mix of breeds. I recommend feeing him a high quality large breed dog food. These foods will have joint support, which is great for bigger dogs. Brands I recommend include Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, Purina ProPlan, and Iams. I hope this helps!

Is FreshPet Select dog food healthy for my picky Yorkie & Morkie?

Thanks for your question. FreshPet Select dog food is a fine type of food for your dogs. There is no one "best" dog food. What matters is that your dog likes eating the food, and does well; meaning they are not gassy, their stool is formed and not too hard or soft, their coat appears healthy, and they aren't having signs of allergies. If this food is accomplishing that for your dogs, then I think it is a good food for them. I hope this helps.

My puppy eats less. What food size or grain-free is best for her?

Decreasing her eating amount after a growth spurt is normal. They probably recommended large breed puppy so she wouldn’t grow to fast which can cause bone problems. Once she’s full grown I recommend regular adult food. No reason to do either large breed or small breed since she will be medium size. I don’t think grain free food is worth it. I like a well balanced dog food such as Hills. They do research on their food and include the optimum amount of nutrients, rather than excess. Your breed could become overweight so please adjust the quantity of food to keep her on the lean side. Hills does have some Natural foods, and many speciality foods such as those for sensitive skin and stomach, joints, weight management, and for medical problems also. My dogs start on Hills and stay on for life, changing the specific food as they grow, and even into their senior years, or with medical problems. There is a lot of advertising to sell different dog foods but I like to base my choice on

Does kibble size matter for my 18-pound small dog's eating habits?

Hi there and thank you for your post! The size of kibble may make it easier for a smaller dog to eat if the kibble bites are smaller. Sometimes, depending on the dog and Its preference for texture, some small dogs prefer large bites over small bites and some dogs prefer small bites over large bite. I would offer both types to see which one is preferred. There are no health benefits over eating small versus large kibble. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction! Please feel free to contact me with any other questions or concerns that you may have

What adult dog food is best for multiple dogs of different sizes?

Depending on how big the Chiweenie is as an adult, you could likely use the same food for both dogs after they are each 1 year old. Since Sara is only 35lbs, you don’t need to give her a large breed dog food. The other pup is likely not extra small (under 10lbs) so it would be fine to eat a regular food as well. Stick with any of the high quality brands who do not have recall issues frequently. Brands who have frequent recalls are concerning for quality issues. I recommend Royal Canin, Iams, Purina Pro Plan, and Nutro. Just get the normal, adult dog food. Remember to transition to the new diet over 5-7 days. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions!
