I know food is a really sensitive subject - but I figured I would ask anyway.
I was looking for a 3.5-5 star puppy food (rating by a popular rating website) that is affordable. Breeder has her on a decent food, but I wanted something different (personal choice).
So I wanted to switch brands (slowly!). I studied all the foods that I could find and fit in my budget. I settled on Blue Buffalo Life Chicken and brown rice puppy. Has 27% protein, which is right in between what they say Shelties should have. The higher rating foods are mostly grain free and, thus, higher protein. It has a 4.5 rating, was in my budget (about $20 for 6lbs). It will last a while, she's small.
I was so satisfied, until I looked online on Consumer Affairs and saw so many complaints! It has 1 star there. Dogs are getting sick and possibly dying. I don't want to make her sick! Has anyone fed Blue Buffalo? Is it OK to feed?
My other option is Wellness Complete. I refuse Nutro products and I don't want any higher protein than 27%-28%.
