I don't know what Science Diet formulation you are using but I would stick with that. Science Diet is an excellent company with a great reputation. All their diets are thoroughly balanced and tested. Wholehearted is grain-free and there is new evidence (scientific studies) that are showing a link between grain-free diets and heart disease in dogs. I would stay away from grain-free diets. Just my personal opinion. Best wishes.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Chewy. When evaluating diets, I look for foods that are certified by AAFCO. This a regulatory group that ensures the food is healthy and nutritionally balanced for your dog. Next, the dog needs to eat and seem to enjoy the food. He should not have vomiting or diarrhea on the diet or an excessive amount of bowel movements. These are indications that the diet does not agree with him. His hair coat should be glossy as well. I hope this information helps!

Hello. As long as you feed Hadli the best quality food you can, keep her up to date on her vaccinations, keep her on heartworm preventative there is not much else for you to do but supply plenty of love. Where people get into trouble is when they try to over-supplement a pet & thus introduce imbalances. Do not let your pet become obese, give her plenty of exercise, & follow your veterinarians recommendations for any testing that might be appropriate as she ages. Just like they recommend for you & me, eating a healthy balanced diet is far more important than any supplements you can buy. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

While WholeHearted is a good food, feeding it won't 100% prevent bloat. The truth is, the cause(s) of bloat is(are) poorly understood. To decrease the likelihood, feed multiple small meals a day and prevent your dog from gulping food or water. As long as Harley does not have any sensitivities to the food, it should not cause diarrhea. Transition slowly to the new food to prevent stomach upset. (In the interest of full disclosure, WholeHearted is Petco's own line of dog food. You should choose a diet that 1) is easy and convenient to buy, 2) a diet that Harley will eat, 3) a diet that does not cause GI upset, allergic reactions, etc.)

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! As you have probably noticed there are plenty of diets in the market. I personally prefer the Science Diet and Royal canin products. This is based on the quality of the ingredients used, palatability and also the fact that they practice evidence based nutrition and have extensive research on their diets. Good luck and have a good night!
