Both Ada and my previous dog, Moose, were already on specific dog foods when I got them. Moose was an adult when we rescued him, and it took numerous attempts to find the right food due to his sensitive stomach. One day, while at the pet store, I discovered the brand Wellness. I chose this brand because Moose had many allergies and a very sensitive stomach, and I wanted to find the best real ingredients available. T
This grain-free, limited-ingredient dry dog food is designed for dogs with allergies or sensitivities, featuring natural probiotics, antioxidants, omega fatty acids, glucosamine, and taurine. It offers a single source of balanced protein and easily digestible carbohydrates. Made in the USA with globally sourced ingredients, it has shown positive results, including weight gain, improved fur condition, and better digestion within weeks of switching to this food.
Ada came from a reputable breeder, so I initially kept her on the food she was used to. Despite being healthy, she remained underweight and ate little, although she loved treats. Once the vet approved a food change, I switched her to Wellness Lamb and Oatmeal. She began to enjoy eating and reached a healthy weight of 72 lbs. (For reference, Moose weighed 110 lbs.)
I prefer adding a couple of teaspoons of wet food to dry food. Wet dog food has a higher moisture content (70-85%) than dry food (about 10%), which can help dogs needing extra hydration or with health issues like urinary tract problems. It also benefits dogs that don't drink enough water. Both types offer balanced nutrition but differ in composition: dry food is higher in carbohydrates, while wet food contains more protein and fat. This gives Ada a good balance.
Consulting with your veterinarian is crucial before selecting or changing your dog's food, since each dog has distinct nutritional requirements. Although I have a favored brand from my personal experience with my dogs, I urge you to conduct your own research and make a well-informed choice. If you're curious about the brand I suggested, I've provided the ingredients and a purchase link.
