Hi Everyone,
We are thinking of switching food for our 6 month old golden retriever. He has been on Eagle Pack Holistic Select Chicken since we got him from the breeder. He doesn't have any major problems but he does get some gas, bad breath and soft poops from time to time. We are just not really thrilled with the food and after reading through the posts I'm not sure if the best. I don't think it awful though or I am wrong? Before I found this forum we were thinking of switching to Blue Buffalo puppy. It looked good and we could get it at petsmart but after reading all the posts here....I am not sure. I am starting to lean toward Innova or Acana but they are not in any stores near us. Should he be on a large breed puppy food? Right now he's getting I guess you would call it an adult food. Is that ok? I am so confused.
He was also diagnosed at 11 wks with luxating patella in both his back legs so I have been giving him a liquid glucosamine/chondroitin. So maybe he does not need the large breed? One more question, he is about 55lbs and gets 4 cups/day. Does that seem correct for his age? We need to keep him trim due to his leg problem-not that anyone wants their dog to be overweight

Sorry for the long post.
Thanks!
