[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, what do you mean by "gross poops"? You need to figure out what is going on there. You have a puppy, has it been checked for worms? The vast majority of puppies have worms (even from breeders). When my older dog dog was a puppy she was having bad diarrhea and she had worms. We treated the worms. Still bad diarrhea. Turns out she gets diarrhea from any grain-free food (and my vet doesn't want her on grain free anyway), it is just too rich for her. My younger dog, a 4-yr old toy poodle rescue, pretty much does fine on anything.

So ... I have obsessed over this, taking quality and cost into consideration and landed on Wellness Complete Health. (Before that my older dog got a Natural Balance kibble, but it was discontinued.) One regular bag for my older dog and one "small breed" bag for my poodle (I think the only real difference is the size of the kibble). My dogs also get a spoon full of warmed wet food (Merrick -- usually Wingaling or Wilderness Blend) on top, but it isn't necessary.

You are saying gross poops, and that implies a problem, so I'd say first stop is the vet. Then, follow their advice regarding food. When my vet advised me to avoid grain free food I asked her which to use, and she said "just pick one and see how the dog does on it." And remember to order a smaller-sized bag in case it doesn't work out and you want to move on to a different food.  [/quote]

PP ^^ here. I'll add that the Wellness Complete Health I feed my dogs is the chicken one, and they do really well with it. YMMV. [/quote]
