possible food change - YorkieTalk.com Forums

i haven't posted on YT for awhile but thought I'd ask opinions. My little guy P-Nut is just that, a little guy. I've been feeding Merrick Grandma's Puppy Plate and I'm getting close to the bottom, he's old enough to be put on adult food now and was wondering if I should stick with Merrick? He's healthy and happy but he's a super skinny boy and I didn't know if there was another brand that might "plump him up" a little.
thanks in advance! sorry it turned out so long

I haven't used it, but I read a post, yesterday, about Taste of the Wild being a food to put on weight...Check around, and see if you can find those posts...

The post is about 5 or 6 posts below yours...here's one post from someone about Taste of the Wild....

If your looking to fatten your pup up, totw is the way to go..I fed that to my Tucker when he was that little and he gained almost 3 pounds in 6 weeks!!..

Tucker was on the puppy plate too and when I got low I just picked another Merrick flavor and mixed it for a few days and he did not have any trouble with it at all. I have found that all the Merrick flavors are pretty easy to change from one to another. Tucker has had the puppy plate, the cowboy one and the turducken. He has liked them all. I also use the canned Merrick food too. He eats his dry food pretty well so as a treat for him on occasion I mix the can food in with his dry food. He loves that stuff.
