Rouche's Dog Food

Okay so I've been trying to investigate the right kind of dog food for Rouche.

16 years ago when we had our first family dog, the general public wasn't aware of what we were feeding our pets or what ingredients were important in the ingredient list. Now, things are much different and awareness about ingredients, canned food, kibble, or raw diets has grown significantly.

I've been researching and continuing my search about raw diets and am very interested but don't feel 100% comfortable yet about providing Rouche with that diet so I'll slowly progress into the process as I feel more comfortable.

However, I have officially switched her over from Fromm's (below) which is what the breeder was feeding her to Blue Buffalo food and treats. I was very nervous about the transition since I know it's important to do so gradually but Rouche went straight bananas when she got a taste of her new food. I also bought a can of the puppy food as well because I think it's a good idea to mix up her diet that way she'll get the best of everything in a variety of options.

I will also note that although a little TMI, her stool has been a lot more solid and a lot less smelly.

Her old brand of dog food

Her new food

Her new food is made for growing pups and is chicken based only; this way I can slowly introduce her to different kinds of food and control her intake incase she has an unknown food allergy. 

Little bit is also a huge fan of Greenies chew bones and Blue Buffalo 'Tranquility' chews. I give her a bone every time she goes in her kennel even though she doesn't like to chew them unless I'm around and she still hates her kennel so apparently she's not getting that "kennel is an O.K. place" vibe yet. 




If you have pets what kind of diet are they are? Do you have any suggestions for me?

Love&Luck my friends!
