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.

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.

Are you guys talking about the Nutro dog food? That's what the pound gave us a free bag of when we adopted Molly..

Her body SO did not agree with it. She had bad gas, her poops stank, and she had horrible dandruff.

We switched her over to Purina One Puppy Chow and her poops don't stink, the gas is gone, and so is the dandruff.

But that doesn't mean Lily (and Roxy?) won't do great on it.

What kind did she have? Nutro Natural Choice is the only food my dogs can eat without getting sick it seems.
