Ok I've posted about this b4 but I'm trying another puppy food because my puppy has the diarrhea bad so I'm looking at nutro max puppy food it's grain free with farm raised chicken would this be an ok choice

Charles has the pup been cleared of parasites and worms? That is the most common reasons for diarrhea. I see nowhere on this package that this food is grain free:

What are you currently feeding? My apologies but there have been several puppy food questions lately, and so many different foods being fed.....

Ok yes he has been clear of parasites I have been giving him perina puppy chow
And I actually went with authority grain free puppy food with real chicken and pea formula

I thought it was the Authority, if you are talking about the large breed puppy formula, then I imagine it's ok, it has less grains than the one I mentioned above. The large breed uses rice and not wheat or corn. I have to ask tho, there are brands out there better than Nutro that cost about the same. Is Petco the only dog food place close to you? If so I can take a look and give you some ideas on what to buy. How long did you try the Authority? Sometimes people don't try a food long enough to actually see results. Also, it could be chicken that is causing the issue, or potatoes....In any event let me know if it is Petco that you have access to and I can give you some ideas.

I live by a petsmart and I only got the authority today I only got a 5 pound bag to test him with here is the upc for the current food I have 7 3725753548 0
That will hopefully tell u what food I got I don't think this one is nutro and this bag doesn't say large breed puppy it just says puppy up to 1 year old

this is the food I got today

Is what you bought today different than what you have been feeding? I ask because this is a very good food, for the price point, I can not think of another food that is this good....


At the price point of Nutro and Authority, then yes Nutro would be an ok food to try IF it is the large breed puppy, the other puppy formula is not grain free, even tho it says it is, strange, but yep I read the ingredients. I couldn't figure out the UPC code you gave me. So if you do not feel the Authority isn't working, then out of the choices available to you then the Nutro large breed puppy would be a choice to switch to. Now I will mention there is a great site if you haven't heard of them called Chewy.com with every food made known to man, that may be something to look into and compare prices you are currently paying to find a better food to feed. If I were to choose between Authority or Nutro I would go with the Authority, it's a better food. However, your pup may do better on a food that contains rice that the Nutro has. Keep asking questions happy to help.

yes it is different then what I had been feeding him and I think ill keep him on authority for about a week or so and see if there is any change I will post back and let u know how it goes thanx for ur help

No problem!! I would go longer than a week tho. Often times it can take up to a month to clear the system of tummy issues. In fact with food allergies, quite often it is recommended to go 8-12 weeks before seeing a change. So hang in there and keep the pup hydrated, and yes please give updates!

Well my puppy has solid stool now the food I got did the trick thanx for ur help
