I don't know what Science Diet formulation you are using but I would stick with that. Science Diet is an excellent company with a great reputation. All their diets are thoroughly balanced and tested. Wholehearted is grain-free and there is new evidence (scientific studies) that are showing a link between grain-free diets and heart disease in dogs. I would stay away from grain-free diets. Just my personal opinion. Best wishes.

Either is good! Both are lean with lots of protein. Giulio may have a taste preference, so you could try both and see which he prefers. I have used freeze dried beef liver for training my dogs. I cut it up in small pieces to make it last longer.

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!

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Chewy. When evaluating diets, I look for foods that are certified by AAFCO. This a regulatory group that ensures the food is healthy and nutritionally balanced for your dog. Next, the dog needs to eat and seem to enjoy the food. He should not have vomiting or diarrhea on the diet or an excessive amount of bowel movements. These are indications that the diet does not agree with him. His hair coat should be glossy as well. I hope this information helps!

Real Nature seems to be a very high quality food, it is not one i am familiar with but the ingredient list is quite impressive. if he is doing well on this brand i would probably stick with it. other excelent options include Orijen, Acana and taste of the wild.
