Hills and science diet offer great puppy diets and adult diets and so does purina. I feed all three of my puppies Purina Pro Plan small breed puppy formula and its great and not to expensive. You can continue to give the wet food if u prefer in moderation they do like to get a special treat sometimes but only small amounts, you can try mixing like a teaspoon of wet with the dry a few times a week but you are also going to want to make sure that the wet food is of high quality also. Hope this helps :) Good luck with the new addition :)<br><b>References : </b><br>Personal experience and Im an assistant in a vets office :) Hi

I would switrch her to a very high quality dry food only, or she will become so spoiled that she will never get the proper nutrition from the wet foods. I love a food called "Evo." I buy some and see if you can switch her to it. Take at least five days by mixing a little more Evo, a little less wet food. We don't want to make her sick by doing a sudden switch. Evo is expensive, but that little dog won't eat that much. How much should she eat? I don't know. But please, get her off that wet food immediately. You can mix dry food with water to make it "wet", but the dry food has the nutruition she needs. The wet food absolutely does not. You will probably have tomake a couple of p hone calls to fi nd the Evo. Places like PetSmart and Petco do not carry a high-quality food like Evo.
