    Oh dont worry, we never use the store stuff on her! WE used Advantage or K-9 Advantage (I dont remember which one) the first time we gave her flea medicine. I hope that she likes Nutro, if she does we'll start feeding it. I think she would still need the puppy food though? Or could we go ahead and buy the adult? She just turned 15 weeks old today. She has a vet appointment tomorrow, and we are going to ask about when she can be spayed, too.

    Oh good I'm glad you don't use the store stuff, a lot of times people do because they just don't realize how dangerous it is. That makes me feel better. Most of the time a puppy doesn't really need puppy food, they are usualy fine with adult but because she is to tiny it reallymight depend on teh size of the adult. It may be too big for her to eat comfortably even if the nutrition aspect was okay with it. My dogs never had puppy food, they had all life stages like canidae and had adult chicken soup but I don't know about Nutro, never used it myself, so I don't know about the size chunks, might be good to stick with the puppy to start.

    Thanks Jess for the great sig of my kids!

    Ok! If she doesnt like Nutro...then oh well... We're used the store stuff on Roxy...but we are going to go back to the vet stuff, because the store stuff doesnt help Roxy that much.

    You may be able to find samples of the Nutro at your pet store, if you don't see it then ask a sales associate.

    Maybe start her off on a small bag? I think they are 8lbs.
