Hi there and thank you for using Boop by Petco to address your concern. Purina Puppy Chow is not a bad food but I prefer to have dogs on Science Diet, Royal Canin, Natural Balance or Purina One. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further. Please take the time to mark this question as helpful or not as it helps us to improve on the quality of our answers to other pet owners. Thank you kindly!

Hello. Purina is a very good dog food manufacturer. They are one of the few companies that actually have veterinary nutritionists overseeing all of their clinical feed trials. I even visited their equine research center several years ago & their facilities & dedication to animal nutrition are phenomenal. Next to Purina, you really cannot go wrong with a Science Diet or Royal Canin food. These are generally the top 3 on any veterinarians recommended food list. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

Purina is a mid range food, i usually recommend Orijen, Acana or Evolve (there are many other high quality foods on the market). it's best to feed both wet and dry if you can (in different bowls of course).

Any food that says "puppy" should be just fine. You can continue to feed wet, or you can use dry. If she prefers moist food, you could even add a little water to the dry food. All puppies that aren't large breeds can use the normal puppy food. Large breeds need different mineral percentages for their extra large bones. I have fed all of my dogs Purina ProPlan since they were puppies. Here is a link: https://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=31180&cmpid=sc

Hello. There is absolutely nothing wrong with feeding Purina Dog Chow if your dog is doing well on it. Just because it does not have a fancy name does not make it a bad food & some of the really pricy brands are pretty crappy. Purina, along with Hill's & Royal Canin, are the most respected dog food manufacturers. These companies employ veterinary nutritionists to formulate & test their products on real dogs & this means more to veterinarians than any formula just based on laboratory data. Purina does have a premium line, but I just feed my dogs the Purina One. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.
