Thanks for using Boop by Petco! You have probably noticed the very large variety of diets available in the market. I personally prefer the Purina Pro Plan and Hill's diets as they are palatable and also good in terms of ingredients. Both of these companies have their own puppy diets. There is currently no strong scientific evidence that grains are harmful and should be avoided so I do not really pay attention to that. Good luck!

Hello. Grain allergies are very uncommon in dogs so a grain free diet should not be needed with your pup at this time. I would just recommend getting her on a high-quality small breed puppy food. Some of my favorite food brands for dogs are Science Diet, Royal Canin and Purina Proplan. I like these brands as they do extensive research and testing on their diets to make sure that they keep animals healthy throughout their lives. A puppy this age also should be fed three times daily until she was about six months of age or so. Best of luck as I know the amount of pet foods available currently can be overwhelming.

I agree. I do not recommend to feed pets a grain free diet unless they have a known grain allergy. There are a few brands that I recommend because I think they’re high quality and pets tend to like the taste. Royal Canin is my number one choice. It is highly digestible and low residue and this tends to result in good stool quality with low stool quantity. Another brand I like is Purina pro plan. Nutro is also a good brand. Make sure to transition any diet slowly. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! It is not known at this time if grain free diets are actually better than diets with grain. I usually recommend feeding a high quality diet. Purina is an excellent diet but if you do not have access to this diet, there are others that you could consider that are also excellent such as Hill's Science Diet, Royal canin and Iams foods. Grain does not necessarily make dogs gain weight so I would be more focused on the quality and balance of the diet per se. Good luck and have a great day!
