Thank you for contacting Boop by Petco with your question about Blue. If you don't have enough to make a slow transition, you will have to make do with what you have and hope the new food doesn't upset his stomach. Mix the foods together tonight, and then give him the new food in the morning. As an aside, I do not recommend feeding Blue Wilderness. It is a terrible food, and it's one of the foods linked to causing dilated cardiomyopathy in dogs. The FDA is investigating that link. You would be hard pressed to find any vet who recommends Blue Buffalo, as it causes many other issues such as hemorrhagic gastroenteritis. I would feed him a much better brand such as Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, Purina Pro Plan, or Iams. I hope this helps!

Trusty is a good looking pup! I don’t recommend to feed grain free diets unless you know that your dog has a grain allergy. Just so you know, food allergies are uncommon and represent less than 10% of all dogs who have allergies. When pets do you have food allergies, it is usually to the protein, not grains or other carbohydrate sources. Well the connection is not clear yet, there does appear to be a link between grain free diet and heart disease. This likely involves a genetic predisposition to heart disease that the diet exacerbates. I recommend to stay on the diamond food between the two but there are diets I think are better. Royal Canin, Nutro and Purina Pro Plan all produce very high-quality diets that are highly digestible and formulated correctly. Your puppy does need to be eating a large breed puppy food to help avoid skeletal issues as an adult. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Every dog is a little different and you may have to experiment a bit to find the food that Roscoe tolerates the best. I don't know what your budget is, or what is specifically available in your area, but here are a few brand options: Natural Balance Taste of the Wild Merrick Canidae Most of these brands offer grain free treats as well. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

Hello and thanks for using Boop by Petco! In general I tend to recommend other diets aside from Blue Buffalo. I prefer Royal Canin or Science diet (and both these companies also have grain free options for kitten food if that's what you are interested in). These foods have been studied and their safety has been well demonstrated whereas some other companies do not do as much or as extensive testing of their diets. For kittens (and cats in general) an all canned food diet is preferred. Canned cat food is lower in carbohydrates and has a higher moisture content which can reduce the risk of diabetes, urinary tract disease and kitten disease as cats get older. You should also check out the packaging of food for an AAFCO statement as this ensures it is formulated for the growth of a kitten. Good luck with Jasmine!

I would not recommend blue buffalo as I have seen some negative side effects of their urine. One of my favorite more natural foods that dogs seem to like is natural balance limited ingredient diets. They have a lot of flavors. I hope this helps.
