    If you have a dog that has problems with urinary pH or is a stone former, Wellness has a high pH, which in my dogs (and others I've heard too) caused struvite stones.
     
    Of those, I'd either stick with Nat's Choice or try Proplan- one of the new holistic formulas.
    But then all dogs do differently on different foods.

    Of the choices, I would pick Wellness.
    • Puppy
    Out of those choices, Wellness is the highest quality.

    But what food you choose should ultimately be the one on which your dog does the best. One of my dogs eats Canidae, which has cleared up her severe skin issues/food allergies. The other two cannot eat Canidae; it is too rich and it makes them vomit daily. They eat Merrick now, and they do wonderfully on it. They used to eat Innova, but it left their skin a tiny bit dry and flaky. Although the younger two do well on Innova and Merrick, both cause balding and hair loss, pimples, pustules, greasy fur, and dry skin on my older dog.

    All of these are good foods, but they're not all good for each of my dogs. Finding the right food for your dog is just a matter of trial and error. Try some stuff! See what works!

    natural choice

     
    As in Nutro? Or, Nature's Choice? Either way, I would ask how well your dog is doing on what you've been feeding.

    I'm not sure which food they meant by "nutience". 
     
    btw, not picking on anybody's spelling, just trying to figure it out because it could be a healthy food. :)

    Ahhh, okay, it wasn't that big of a typo I've just never heard of the food. [:)] I googled it and I'm guessing you must be in the UK, I'm pretty sure we don't have it here in the U.S..... I'm tried to find an ingredient list but couldn't so I'm not sure whether it's a good food or not.
