Coco's mom
Well-known member
Hi! I would REALLY appreciate any help with food for my 12 week old cav Coco. She has been eating the kibble that the breeder suggested since she came home at 8 weeks, but I don't like the ingredients. Is it too early to change her food? (She isn't having any bad reaction to it, but I think she will do better on something else.)
I've been trying to read all that I can about choosing healthy dog foods, but I am still confused! :? From the ingredients and all I've heard, I feel Innova is great. Innova EVO dry has higher protein (42%) and lower carbs compared to regular Innova dry(24% protein), right? This is probably a very basic question, but I got to ask, do dogs/puppies have very little need for grains/carbs?
I noticed many people also give canned food. Is this okay for cavaliers? I thought it was bad for their teeth. If it provides nutritional variety and perhaps another protein source, would it be a good idea to add it to the kibble once in a while?
I would like to give Coco the best food I can give her! I've been adding a little apple, sometimes mashed banana, and once shredded carrots to her food. I'd love to add meat, more vegetables, yogurt, and whatever else is good for her. Any advice on how much or what to add? I don't want to overfeed her, because she LOVES her food and is ALWAYS searching for more.
THANK YOU so much for reading and any advice! :flwr:
