I never recommend Blue Buffalo, it's actually a terrible food. Hill's Science diet is perfect for Mia, it's an excellent brand of food. I do not recommend switching her food. The wet food is fine, but you can mix in some dry food as well. I hope this helps!

Blue Buffalo is a good quality dog food brand, as are Science Diet (I like the Ideal Balance line), Wellness, Royal Canin, Purina ProPlan, etc. The differences in Blue Buffalo and Purina Dog Chow can be found in the types of meats and byproducts used to make the food, the presence of fillers, and sourcing of ingredients. If Purina is the preferred brand, I tend to encourage pet owners to choose from the Purina ProPlan line rather than the basic Dog Chow.

I personally do not like Blue Buffalo at all. They have had serious quality control problems which they have admitted due to the fact that they don't own their own factories. They therefore give the recipe to someone to make, and have no control over whether or not the recipe is followed exactly. Plus many colleagues have reported an increase in gas with this food. I would not recommend Blue Buffalo for Fiffy. As for the other two foods, between the two of them I would recommend the Nutro Max. It's a better quality food in my opinion. Just so you are aware, grains are beneficial to dogs and I do not recommend feeding a dog a grain free food unless they have a proven grain allergy, which isn't very common at all in dogs. Food allergies are the least common type of allergies in dogs, and when they do have a food allergy, it is most commonly related to protein not grain. There are very few dogs who have true grain allergies. It is beneficial for Fiffy's health to feed her grains

I would stay away from blue buffalo. I have never had good experience with their foods. I have seen a lot of dog become overweight, develop pancreatitis, and have a lot of urinary issues with this food. Little Caesars is also not a great food. Royal canin and science diet are both good foods. I am not super familiar with well core but I also haven't heard anything bad about their foods. I do not think she needs to be a on grain free unless she is having bad food allergy issues. Also, I would consider putting her a fish oil or an omega 3 fatty acid supplementation if she has a lot of flakey and isn't greasy. I like vetriscience 369 supplementation. I hope this helps!

This is a great question, especially because there are so many food options out there for puppies! Several brands of food including Hill's Science Diet, Royal Canin, and Purina One are often preferred. These companies do a lot of research and quality control to ensure their foods meet strict nutritional standards so I would recommend one of these brands for Sixx. These companies also make canned puppy food which may entice Sixx to eat more enthusiastically. Thanks for using Boop by Petco!
