Buddy is one cute little puppy! As far as his diet goes, I have never even heard of ProPac prior to seeing this photo. I am always a bit leery of diets that are less readily available because they tend to lack the necessary clinical trials and ingredient analysis that many more mainstream brands conduct. While I do not see any obvious red flags regarding nutrient deficiencies in the photos that you have posted, I would recommend offering a higher quality brand, such as Science Diet, Purina ProPlan or Royal Canin. These brands conduct thorough studies with their foods, source ingredients appropriately and have highly standardized manufacturing processes. Should you decide to make a change in diet, be sure to do so gradually by mixing the old and new foods together over 5-7 days. I hope that all goes well!
