switching to wellness?

Question
I'm planning on switching to Wellness dog food after I finish my bag of Royal Canin... I have a 5 month old cairn terrier.

My question is: Should I buy Wellness Dry Dog Food Puppy or
Wellness Dry Dog Food Super5mix Chicken? One's a adult food and ones a puppy food...

And could you tell me your view on Wellness (overall?). Thanks!


Answer
Hi Jeff,
I'd use the puppy food here; with it's higher protein and fat, it has an advatage for the growing dog. (The 'Just for Puppy' offers 28% protien and 17% fat as compared to the Super5 at 23 and 12%...a significant difference on a Dry Matter basis..) The Puppy food is a wee bit higher in calcium, at 1.3%, but for a small breed that's just fine.  I'd use the Puppy food for your little guy.

As for the line as a whole? I like Wellness. I mean, I can pick apart any food - but it will probably sound like splitting hairs. This is a high quality food, nice ingredients, they've done their homeowrk on the formulas; their CORE is my favourite of all the high protien/grainfree foods on the market now. Of course, any formula has to work for your puppy - if he has good stool, is growing at an appropriate rate, isn't gassy or whiny or lethargic - I would definitely encourage you to keep using what works.
All the best, Catherine
