Hi my gsd puppy was on royal canin maxi junior for a month them i changed it for Orijen puppy food. He does not eat as well. He used to eat 3 times a day and now he is down to one. His bowels are normal. Which brand should i feed him next. I am thinking about petcurean. I know if he likes royal canin why not feed him that but his bowel movements were too loose. L Thank you.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I’d try Purina Proplan large breed puppy or their Focus line. Or Hill’s Science Diet large breed puppy. Be sure he isn’t getting sick and the decreased appetite is a sign. I wish you the best!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! There are things you can try to make his food more palatable such as chicken broth or dog grade gravy on his food. That has worked well in the past for several of my patients before. Good luck and have a good day!
