Hey all,
We currently feed our 9 month old newf Purina Pro Plan Sport 20/30 (with a bit of yogurt and a bit of canned meat as well as vitamins). We use this food because it is what the breeder used and we chose that breeder partly because of the health of the dogs.
Our pup is growing well, her coat is in great shape, etc. But, the food gets pretty bad reviews online at dog food analysis sites and I wonder if I should switch her. We are costco members, and the Kirkland brand gets much higher reviews than the Purina and is as affordable. And, there are obviously even better kibbles.
Should we consider switching? If so, I know how to slowly introduce a new food, but how do you determine how much of a new food corresponds with the old. The breeder gave us amounts for the kibble she used, but I'm not sure that would be the same for a new brand.
Thanks in advance for any help.
