Great question! I personally recommend a high quality dog food, such as Royal Canin or Hills Science diet. Feed TJ according to the package instructions on the bag. As long as you don't give him excess treats or human food, it's fine to feed him a regular dog food instead of having to worry about giving him a specialized diet. I hope this helps!
