I don't home cook unfortunately, and right now he is finishing the puppy chow. But soon I will be getting another food for him. Is Blue Buffalo good?

There's a sticky thread in this section right above here that says "foods we use and recommend"...check it out and I'm sure you can come to some good conclusions

Don't apologize for not home cooking. There are great premium pet foods out there you can feed him.

Home cooking is very tricky to get the proper supplementation so all his nutritional needs are right. Many of us only home cook because we have Maltese with health issues. I wish my Lady could eat a premium commercial diet!

I have Haley on Natural Balance Sweet Potato and Venison which is recommended here. Do you have a Petco? This is where I get it for $13.99 5lb bag.

The sweet potato and venison has very large peices, too large for my 4 pound Gigi. If you are going with NB foods, I would get the duck and potato small bites.

Yes, we have a Petco. OK. That's less expensive than Blue Buffalo

dog food analysis.com doesn't have any information that I could see, but I did go to dogfoodchat.com and found good reviews for NB. Would you guys recommend this website to trust?

Great point! Haley was use to eating larger pieces so she had no trouble.... I wonder why they do not offer smaller bites in this kind??

I did a lot of research myself for Haleys food. I liked that I could get NB local and it has great reviews here. If I'm not mistaken there is a link ^^ that tells reviews, contents, etc of dog food. Let me see if I can find it.......

I wrote to the company and asked them to please consider making this food in the small bites. I got a response back that basically alluded to the idea that they will offer in small bites what they are asked to offer and that I was the first person who had requested the Venison in small bites. If a bunch of people email them and ask perhaps they will begin thinking about making it in small bites.
