I am not familiar with this type of dog food. In general, I tend to recommend Hill's Science Diet and the high end Purina products. My reason for this is because these are the only two brands who do extensive food testing on all of their diets prior to putting them on the market. I also feed Wellness to my own cats and dogs, but this is based simply on my own anecdotal positive experience with this diet. In terms of extra fiber, you can add small amounts of fruits and vegetables. Canned pumpkin is often a good addition that most dogs eat up. Hope this makes sense.

Both are good foods. I personally feed my dogs Iams, so if you wanted to switch to that, it's fine to do. It's important to know when switching foods to do it slowly so that Scooby doesn't get any GI upset. Start by mixing 75% old food and 25% new food, and feeding that for a couple of days. Over the course of two weeks, gradually increase the amount of new food and decrease the amount of old food until he is eating the new food only. Other brands I recommend include Royal Canin and Hill's Science diet, but those would be pricier than the Purina One and Iams. I hope this helps!

Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! Both foods are good! Personally I would save the novel protein (trout) for animals with GI or skin disease. My only requirements for food brands for my clients are: the dog likes the food and eats it well, has a good coat, defecates normal stool regularly and isn't too thin or overweight. Most of the dog foods on the market are aimed at making the owner happy and use marketing ploys to get owners to feed foods for incorrect reasons (grain free, listing ingredients on the bag in differnet orders making owners think that it is better than another brand). Expensive food doesn't equal better. I like Purina, Royal Canin and Hill's Science diet. I hope this helps!

I can't see your original post, but I suspect you were looking for a low calorie weight loss food. Unfortunately, many of the higher quality foods are very calorie dense and bio-available, so you will have to feed less of those foods. Purina OM has some ingredients that people consider fillers which are high fiber and help to make the food less calorie dense. While many people prefer a grain free diet, very few of the prescription diets are grain free. Since I see that you live in the Bay Area, I might consider going to Pet Food Express and discussing your options with them. They have been very useful for my clients. I hope that was helpful. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

Hello. Purina is a very good dog food manufacturer. They are one of the few companies that actually have veterinary nutritionists overseeing all of their clinical feed trials. I even visited their equine research center several years ago & their facilities & dedication to animal nutrition are phenomenal. Next to Purina, you really cannot go wrong with a Science Diet or Royal Canin food. These are generally the top 3 on any veterinarians recommended food list. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.
