Diamond is so cute! He needs a puppy food. Brands of puppy food I recommend including Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, Purina Pro Plan, and Iams. Call a vet to make him an appointment for a health check, and while there, the vet will discuss the vaccine schedule for him. I hope this helps, enjoy him!

Diamond dry food is fine to feed. You can use low sodium chicken broth to soften the food. Apply the broth and just let it sit on the food for about 5-10 minutes before feeding to allow it to expand the food before she eats it. Hope this helps. Best wishes.

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! Yes, both diets are good. As you have probably already noticed, there are so many diets in the market now. However, both of these are good and I have clients who use both that are happy with it. Good luck!

Trusty is a good looking pup! I don’t recommend to feed grain free diets unless you know that your dog has a grain allergy. Just so you know, food allergies are uncommon and represent less than 10% of all dogs who have allergies. When pets do you have food allergies, it is usually to the protein, not grains or other carbohydrate sources. Well the connection is not clear yet, there does appear to be a link between grain free diet and heart disease. This likely involves a genetic predisposition to heart disease that the diet exacerbates. I recommend to stay on the diamond food between the two but there are diets I think are better. Royal Canin, Nutro and Purina Pro Plan all produce very high-quality diets that are highly digestible and formulated correctly. Your puppy does need to be eating a large breed puppy food to help avoid skeletal issues as an adult. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Congratulations on your new puppy Diggy! In general I like the brand Royal Canin. The dogs that I see (including my own) that eat that diet tend to have nice hair coats and good stool quality. They make a variety of breed specific and size specific diets. The breeds for the small dogs also have enzymes that make harder for bacteria to cling to teeth (which helps reduce tartar build up). I also like Purina ProPlan and Iams. Please post again if you have any further questions!
