I was feeding my puppy the regular puppy food from Costco. Nothing wrong with it, but she didn’t eat very much. She never has so I didn’t think much of it. Soon she stopped eating altogether. She had always been a really chill puppy even when she did eat, but she was suddenly pretty lethargic and irritable. I was really worried so I took her to the vet they found nothing wrong with her (other than she wasn’t eating) and they said to feed her science diet. I switched to this and she immediately started to eat. She loved it so much that she would pick out the old food and just eat this. She has since put on weight, and she eats all her meals with gusto! She used to be such a grazer and now doesn’t leave a single morsel in her bowl when it’s feeding time. She has way more energy than she ever has and is the playful and sweet puppy I always knew she should be. The small bites have been way easier for her to eat as well.
It has all the best ingredients for a growing puppy including grain. Which our vet told us is crucial and so many dog foods now are grain free. The smell is definitely a strong dog food smell but if your dog loves to eat all the food right away, it’s not a problem. I also keep my bag in a sealed bucket and it completely eliminates the odor.

I recently adopted a 5 month old shelter pup, she is a very picky eater and absolutely refuses to eat the food that the shelter sent home with her (presumably the only food she's ever eaten??) and she won't touch wet food or even peanut butter!! But this stuff she totally loves! It's also what my vet's office recommends and I take my dogs to a phenomenal vet who is very upset to date and knowledgeable and does not take sponsorships from dog food brands.

The only thing that ever puts my pup off of this food is her teething pain. She lost 4 baby teeth this week and had needed a little more coaxing and wetting of the kibble in order to get her eating.

Our shelter has found that super young pups can’t handle most other puppy foods like they can handle science diet. We stick with it!
