A little background history. I have one dog Finnlee. He's a 12 pound Chiweenie/Papillon mix. He just turned two on Sept 21, 2020. My vet said feed him 1/2c. a day so I split that into two 1/4c. servings morning and night. His condition is good; coat is great. Muscle tone is good. He was raised mostly on Iams Smart Puppy except for a few months I had him on Blue Buffalo Life Protection Formula Small Breed Puppy Chicken & Oatmeal Recipe Dry.
Then I heard some bad things about Blue and went back to the Iams totally. Now he is on Iams ProActive Health Adult MiniChunks Dry. Sometimes I mix wet and dry and let him have that for breakfast. Then stuff leftovers in his Kongs. But I've noticed a couple of behaviors that seem to pop up. He seems to be constantly looking for food. Even trying for dried worms and bird poop at times. And he seems to be scratching a lot and I haven't noticed any fleas. He gets Nexgard and Iverhart Max for pest control. Also he seems to be passing smellier gas now but I'm not sure if its the dry food or mix of wet and dry.
So do you think Blue is safe to go back to or what else sounds good for little dogs? I'm so confused I don't know which way to turn. I don't mind paying for a quality food if that's what is best for Finnlee. I don't want to do Grain free after all the studies and issues dogs have had with those lines of products.
Thanks
