— Dog Food Tips —
The food that I feed my puppies is called Nutrisource 30/21 Puppy Starter Plus as well as Nutrisource Small & Medium Breed Puppy. NutriSource grain inclusive formulas deliver compact nutrition and include pre and pro-biotics to help support a healthy gut.
Balanced Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids along with L-Carnitine, taurine, choline chloride and dL-methionine supplementation to promote heart health make NutriSource grain inclusive formulas stand out. The pieces are tiny bite sized and the small breed puppies just absolutely love the food. Here is the link to their website: https://nutrisourcepetfoods.com/small-and-medium-breed-puppy-recipe/.
The Food that I feed my adults is called Nutirsource Choice Whitefish Meal & Rice Recipe.

I only feed grain inclusive foods and treats. I do not feed any foods or treat that are grain free. I always read food labels and ingredients before I purchase anything for my dogs. I also try to avoid certain ingredients like peas, lentils, other legume seeds, all potatoes including sweet potatoes, corn, wheat, soy, meat and grain meals and by-products, BHA - Butylated Hydroxyanisole, BHT - Butylated Hydroxytoluene, Ethoxyquin, Food Dyes - Blue 2, Red 40, Yellow 5 and 6, 4-MIE, PG - Propylene Glycol, rendered fat, and etc. I do not do grain free due to the research that has came out about the affects grain free has on the hearts of our precious pets.
Current research has shown that Grain Free causes Canine Dilated Cardiomyopathy in young dogs and pets and eventually death. It also has been said to have been the cause of other health issues in young dogs and pets. I recommend that all pet owners to please do their research on this issue.
