My puppy's food had worms. Should I switch? What brands are safe?

If Nala is doing well on the Purina, there's no need to change her food, but if you wanted to try another brand, I recommend Royal Canin, Hill's Science diet, Purina ProPlan, or Iams. Should you make the decision to switch her food, be sure to do it slowly to avoid GI upset. Mix together the old food and new food, and over the course of two weeks, slowly increase the amount of new food and decrease the amount of old food until Nala is eating the new food only.

Good on you for doing this! Trusty needs a puppy formulated food still, and brands I recommend include Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, Purina ProPlan, and Iams. I personally feed my dogs Iams and they love it. Start the switch now, and do it slowly to avoid GI upset. Best of luck.

Nala is very cute! She needs a puppy formulated food, and brands I recommend include Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, Purina ProPlan, and Iams. Puppies require higher amounts of protein, calcium, and calories than adult dogs to grow properly, and a puppy formulated food will provide that for her. Go out to a pet store and get a puppy food for her now. She should be fed three times a day until she is six months once, once in the morning, at noon, and the evening. The bag of food will tell you her daily recommended allotment of food, and divide that into three equal feedings. Once she is six months old, she can be fed twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. Good luck, I hope this helps!

It's fine to administer Atlas a different brand of deworming treatment, and I recommend giving him Panacur. It's an excellent deworming that you can get OTC, and it kills roundworms, hookworms, and whipworms :-)

Hello and congratulations on your puppy! There are many great puppy food brands out there. I recommend that you go with a well-known brand that has a good track record of high-quality food that is well-tested. The brand you choose will depend on how you'd prefer to acquire it and how much money you'd like to spend. You can find quality food at all price points. On the lower price side, you've got brands that you can find at the grocery store, like Purina One. Middle-of-the-road brands can be found at big-box pet stores (e.g. Petco), and include Iams, Eukanuba, Science Diet, Wellness and Royal Canin. Higher end foods can also be found at the big-box stores, but smaller company brands may be easier to find at small, private pet stores, like Innova and Merrick. Whichever you choose, be sure to change Joey's diet slowly over a week's time to prevent stomach upset. Start by mixing 1 part of the old food with 3 parts of the new food, and increase the amount of the new food over the course of about 5-7 days. Good luck, and I hope Joey grows and thrives!

I will try to help! I recommend giving Jax Drontal, it's an excellent deworming treatment you can get from a vet's office. As for food, brands I recommend include Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, Purina ProPlan, and Iams. I feed my dogs Iams, and they love it. If you want a supermarket brand of food, Purina One is excellent. I hope this helps!

I would throw out the food that is contaminated with worms and get a new bag of food. It shouldn’t cause any long term issues but may cause some tummy upset. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Best of luck.
