Alex- what coupons are those?!

TOTW was one of the brands my vet said to stay clear of along with diamond, can soup dog soul, blue buffalo (due to recent issues). But then again they also RECOMMEND Science Diet/Hills , Purina Pro plan..

I heard rumors that if you purchase heartguard anywhere other than your vet- it’s not the real deal. Diluted of sorts. Is that true?

I’m confused. No surprise!

I thought it was optimal to feed some of a can on top of kibble to aid in digestion or something. (For those who are feeding commercial) As much as I like THK- it’s not an option for us to feed that right now. We’re getting a labradoodle that we expect to hit about 55lbs in a bit over a month. I understand that it’s optimal to also rotate food. So, we were thinking of rotating dr.Tim’s kinesis (order online) and fromm’s gold puppy which we can get locally. I thought we should add a bit of wet food to each meal to moisten and provide a bit extra protein. I’m a little lost on where to find a decently priced wet. And if my plan sounds decent? 55lbs is on edge of large breed and I don’t want to mess her up if I should be looking else where.
I appreciate all the feedback!

Betsy,
Hi! Thanks for the honest kitchen recommendation! I looked it up- I’ll be honest- my husband flipped when I told him how much Dr. Tim’s was going to be- no way will be he okay with adding THK topper. I feel like Dr. Tim’s is fairly reasonable for what it is- I’ll order Dr. Tim’s online and rotate w/Fromms (gold puppy I think) which I can get locally.
Is there a reasonablely priced topper that maybe a big box store would carry that I can add a few scoops to? From what I’ve read- toppers are really a good think to add…moistens the kibble, extra protein, etc. so I don’t wanna skip it.
I’d love any feedback! I’ve got Walmart, tractor supply, Meijer, gladeiux and I can make a pet smart too ..

I read it all. My eye balls hurts!! So much wonderful information and so many people who have contributed!! Thank you!!

We’re bringing home a standard labradoodle next month. At the moment ( from what I’ve gathered!) we’re going to go w/ dr. Tim’s kinesis all stages – with some sort of topper (maybe 4health?) if someone has a suggestion for a topper- I’d love it! We’ll rotate off of life’s abundance ..

And for the ratios- it’s just feeding what is recommended in bag from Dr.Tim…then scaling back appropriately for the topper- or does that matter if the topper just ends up being extra?
