Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! Poor Cesar! What a scary time! I am glad he will be okay. I would feed him a commercial puppy food since he is under 1 year of age. I like Royal Canin, Hill's Since diet and Purina Proplan or Focus. There isn't anything extra needed just balanced nutrition for a growing dog. Good luck!

Hi, thank you for using Boop by Petco. I would work on weaning Cherokee off of the Cesars as soon as you can. That food is very high in fat and not a very healthy food. You don't say how old she is now. If under a year, I would suggest a puppy or growth formula. If adult, feed an adult maintenance food. Purina ProPlan, Science Diet or Iams are all very good brands. Start slowly transitioning her by mixing 75% current food and 25% new diet and switch very slowly to the new food over the course of several weeks. If she is otherwise healthy, a healthy dog is not going to starve themselves to death. But in the long run she will be much healthier on a high quality dog food. Do not give people food or table food at all either. A mix of canned and dry is fine, but it needs to be a good quality food. http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=2471 Good luck.

I personally don't feel Caesar is one of the best supermarket brands of food. I would try him on Purina One, which is the best of the supermarket brands in my opinion. Best sure to do the switch slowly to avoid GI upset. I hope this helps!

Cesars and Beneful are more medium grade diets. Dogs love the taste but it's not necessarily the highest quality proteins and there's lot of fillers. The Royal Canin is a very high quality and the food I recommend to mainly feed Azumi. I recommend to feed mainly dry food but you can add in some canned food for a treat or even in every meal if you like. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Hi Ashlyn, Thanks for posting. Caesar is not the greatest quality dog food in the world I have to admit. You are correct. Caesars does not contain a lot of whole ingredients and is very processed. The wet food is also not the best for the teeth. Pure Vita or Orijen would be much better options, yes. And I agree, it doesn't make any sense to mix in a top shelf food like Orijen with a low quality food like Caesar. It would be like having a filet mignon alongside a McDonalds hamburger. I hope this helps! Thank you for using Boop by Petco!
