Feeding guidelines...
...on the bag of dog food? Do you trust them? We feed Hugo consistent with the recommended amount on the bag (Taste of the Wild), but sometimes I worry about it being too much. What are your thoughts on the subject?

New puppy coming and need to change what he is being fed.
They told me they use eukanuba large breed puppy, then the adult. Now I can't argue that their dogs are gorgeous show dogs which is why I chose this breeder in the first place. But I have never ever fed iams/eukanuba products. Not that I have had the best of luck lately either with my dogs. So that...

When to switch to adult food?
Finn is about 9 months. He is still only about 33 pounds. He has gained maybe 5 pounds since I got him at the end of May. I wasn't sure if smaller breed dogs switch to adult foods earlier or how important it is to stay on puppy food for a while longer. Thanks.

Dehydrating food for treats.....
Who here does it? I'm thinking of dehydrating/drying treats for training, as I know it's cheaper than buying treats, and I like to know just what is in my dog's treats (I try to do grain-free). How long do you do it in the oven for, and at what temp? I've heard different things......

Orjen Fish to Arcana Pacifica easy switch

We just started it but so far absolutely no issues with changing. The kcals/cup are about the same, protein is lower 40 vs 33 I think, fat is slightly lower...

Thinking about dehydrated for Jewel
The holistic vet suggested turkey or beef based food for her, and I'm having a heck of a time finding a kibble that is turkey or beef based, does not contain chicken, and isn't super high protein or super low. I decided to eyeball some dehydrated food, at a friend's suggestion. Great idea...

Old dogs LOVE new tricks! (Jewel)
So, I decided to teach Jewel some basic obedience. The other two girls are well trained, and reliable off lead. Jewel misses out on fun times, and she is still very eager to play and interact, at 8 years young. I'd like to get her CGC, and maybe her RN, if her health permits. She has great dog manners...
