Hi there, I'm Kit and this is my 20 month old AmStaff, Hopi Oneiroi (I attempted to introduce us earlier in the day, but I was having issues on my end getting a photo to load, and when it had gone back, it erased my community intro). I'm not very good with my knowledge of nutrition for dogs (even struggle with my own). I'm so glad to have found this community through the Gungho community. When I first got Hopi as a 9 wk old, they fed him Purina puppy chow. He smelled like popcorn, farts and all. I switched him to Nulo grain free large breed puppy chow after his first month with me (I initially bought a bag of what they fed to not upset his stomach while he adjusted to his new home before the first switch). I was told by the breeder and a few other staffie people to feed large breed for them. I'm clueless, so I have no idea if that was bad info. I fed him Nulo for 8 months before switching to Fromm, grain free large breed puppy because the price was a little better. After feeding him that for about 7 months, I learned peas are bad for their hearts, so I switched him to First Mate grain free, limited ingredients dog food. This is what he's currently on. I need to mention he won't eat his kibble unlessI drizzle a little dog safe gravy and stir well. He's a picky eater. I can't seem to find no sodium chicken broth, only low sodium, unfortunately, but he only gets 3 spoon fulls per meal, just enough to coat every kibble, and no more. I was told by more knowledgeable dog people to wait until after he's done with his growing years before doing any home made meals. So I've been waiting on that. But its getting close to start learning on what whole foods to start gently cooking together and what supplements I need to be adding to those home made meals to keep it nutritionally balanced for an AmStaff. I'm immune-compromised, chronically ill, & AuDHD. Hopi is my very first Service Dog in training. It's a slow process, as its just me physically handling him, and I go through health crashes on a regular basis.
