Thank you for submitting your question regarding Max. Higher quality food does make a difference in a dog, but you could see how he does on economical brand. You want him to eat the food and like it. He should have no vomiting or diarrhea on a new diet and should only have 2-3 bowel movements per day. He also needs to have a glossy coat. These are signs the diet is working for him. Of the cheaper brands, I would recommend Purina Dog Chow or Pedigree. Purina ProPlan and Iams will better options of the higher ends foods you listed. I hope this information helps!

Hello, thank you for using Pet Coach. Great question! No, it is best to not use human vitamin supplements. They are not balanced for dogs and you could end up overdosing Max on certain vitamins/minerals that can cause a lot of problems. It is recommended you use supplements made for dogs. Hope this helps. Best wishes.

HI, thanks for using Boop by Petco. Max could be a Spitz or a Samoyed. Or a mix. Max may need time adjusting to a new home. Try adding warm water to his food or adding a tablespoon of canned food mixed with water to see if that will get him to eat. Try sitting with him while he eats. Good luck!

Congratulations on adding Max to your family! Max will need to have his vaccines before he can be groomed so he will need to see the veterinarian. The best products for ticks are oral products like Simparica and Nexgard. You will need approval from your veterinarian to get these products. Seresto collars and Frontline will also kill ticks. Depending on where you live, if tick borne diseases are common, it may also be recommended to start Max on an antibiotic to try to prevent tick borne diseases. Heartworm testing and likely prevention will also be recommended. Certainly you may be able to look into vaccine clinics or low cost clinics which may be able to offer most or all of these services (you will need to check if they can address the tick borne illness issue). You may also look into the wellness programs offered by VCA and Banfield if they are in your area. Sometimes this is an affordable way to get the normal preventive care items for pets. I hope this helps and please feel free

Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! Marshall is super cute! The most common thing in pet food that can cause allergies is actually not the grains but the protein. Chicken being the biggest allergen. I would get Marshall off chicken and try Salmon, venison, bison or beef. All his treats need to be made of the same protein and he can not have any table foods. His diet would need to be strictly monitored. You should give the diet 2-3 months before trying another or a prescription hydrolyzed diet. I would also consider a Omega 3 fish oil. I like VRS Omega Benefits. http://vrshealth.com/canine-products/omegadog/ You can also discuss apoquel or cytopoint with your Vet. I hope this helps and I wish Marshall the best!
