I ended up getting Wellness Super 5 mix, small breed for Delilah. I read that it has probotics, including stuff similar to what's in yogurt. Hence, maybe the reason for no eye stain.

Yeager is also eating the Wellness Super 5 mix for small breeds, and he doesn't have any staining problems! I think the kibble size is perfect for him.

Tinker Bell and Tiger Lily have only ever ate Wellness and we are having zero issues with it. We researched puppy food way before we brought them home and I found a great article by Kristin Cabe that specifies things to avoid in a puppy food. We decided on Wellness for our girls; started on canned when they were little (when they were with their mom, they were on canned food and nursing... we didn't want to give them too many changes at once!) but went to dry food very quickly and easily.

When we went to Pet Supplies Plus to pick up food, there was a Blue Buffalo rep there who was talking up his food, of course, and telling us all this great stuff about their product. He was trying to convince us and then asked what we planned on feeding our pups. When we told him Wellness, he stopped trying to convince us, lol, and was like, oh yeah, that is a good one.

Not trying to pick a fight with anyone who loves Blue Buffalo or anything.... lol.

I am a NUTRO rep, but LOVE Wellness! I also work with a BB rep. Me and her are good buddies. I do like some of the BB canned products, but IMO some of it is just to high in protein for a Malt.

Edgar and Emmy both had mushy stools on Wellness 5, and boy did the poo stink.

The Wellness Core foods have 6 star ratings here:
Dog Food Reviews - 6 Star Premium Dry Food - Powered by ReviewPost
(I love that site for checking ingredients and appreciate their reviews at the bottom before trying a new food.)

The other Wellness foods seem to have 5 star ratings--still very good and probably based on them containing grain.
