Hello Everybody
… Any help, Any advice would be very welcomed … thank you all so much!!!
first of all I want to thank all the doggie-lovers that take their time to write about their experiences, concerns, opinions and comments and are able to help people like me asking for advise.
I just got a chichuahua puppy, she is 5 months old, 5 1/2 pounds, when I got her they told me to feed her “royal Canin puppy 33″ so I was doing that, she was normal and doing good on it, till I went online and seen the horrible reviews and ingredients it has, so i slowly introduce her to “wellness super mix just for puppies” in the beggining she would just eat the RC and leave the W grains behind till I slowly put her 100% in wellness and she would wait and roam around till she got hungry and had nothing else to eat, so she gave in and ate it, but that first day I notice a big change on her, her stools are quite soft, sometimes diarrea, and her smell change it’s like a bad doggie odor and I gave her a bath 1 week ago, She doesn’t go out on grass or gets dirty, she is mostly an indoor doggie, she doesn’t have to many people around her and I don’t have any kids, I Really try to be a good first time mom, I take care of her very well and try to keep her good and happy the best possible ways, I do not want to go back to RC, but I need to change her food, although she was doing good in it, I don’t think I like the quality, I thought wellness was going to be great beacause it’s wholesome and natural ingredients, but I think something in it is affecting her, could it be the salmon/fish in it? or maybe it’s to rich? i just do not know, i called her vet and the assitant told me they like hills science and purina dog chow!!! but I read it’s not good they only gave them 1-2 stars and both has bad ingredients, I don’t mind spending some money on her food I just want the best for my little girl, as I would want for me or any of my family members or my friends, I am just so confussed

Bella,
Which Wellness are you feeding? If it is the puppy one, you might try the Wellness Core as it is grain free and also use the canned with it as a topper sometimes. I am getting a poodle in a couple of days, and like you, have been researching different foods online and I really like the Wellness and will be trying it, starting with the puppy mix and using the canned as a topper. If I notice she is having any problems, I will then try Canidae brand of dry and also canned. I have ready many reviews that dogs usually love te taste, but then there are a few posts like yours that the dog has not liked the dry kibbles. Another one that seems to be good is Taste of the Wild. Hope that helps and I am hoping the Wellness works for her as I can get it locally.

Bella:
I have two Chichuahua pups as well, and one of them cannot digest Wellness food AT ALL, for it causes really soft stools/ diarrhea. I did a lot of research and found EaglePack for small breed puppies. Ever since, my Chichuahua’s stools have become healthier, and has a lot more energy and her overall health seems to be wonderful! I am guessing she was allergic or had bad reactions to the gluten in Wellness. I definitely recommend you trying EaglePack! My other Chichuahua does great on Wellness, so it’s turning into a pain in the butt feeding them different foods. I might just swith both to EaglePack. Hope this helped!

I have a rare breed 9 month old Coton deTulear. Her breeder gave me BilJac when I got her, but within a few months she started snubbing the food. When it was dustry when dry and when I added water it was a mushy mess.
The only reason she finished her bag of BilJac is because I started mixing it with Wellness Just for Puppy canned food. We have disconinued BilJac and she now enjoys Wellness canned food every evening and Blue Buffalo dry food in the mornings. She is active and happy. No potty issues and she has a beautiful soft coat.
