I feed Lael Wellness Puppy. I switched her to Wellness about 3 weeks ago, and have noticed an incredible difference! Leal had extreme dry skin before I started feeding her Wellness. You would not believe how wonderful her skin and coat looks and feels! She itches less, and even has less eye boogies. :D I'm not an expert on foods, but the following is what I have found out from my little experience:
Firstly, dogs love tasty food. You can get creative to make the food more appealing to your pup: raw egg yolk and cooked egg white (the whites are harder to digest raw, although some dogs do just fine with an entire raw egg), brown rice, cottage cheese, liver peices, etc. These also have good nutritional benefit for your pup. If your dog just hates its kibble and won't eat it without wet food or a tasty treat, it may be a good idea to switch and try something else that he/she might like more. (Remember that puppies can be pickier eaters. They will probably grow out of it.)
Second, I recommend any of the food that have been mentioned above. These really are the most oustanding quality for your money, from my research.
Third, feeding on a schedule helped me out a lot. Put the food down the same time every day for 15 minutes. If during that time your pup doesn't eat or doesn't finish, take the food away and don't feed them until the next meal. They will soon figure out that if they are hungry, they must eat when the food is there.
When switching from a kibble with lots of grain filler (ie. corn) to a food like Wellness, keep in mind that foods without fillers are fed in smaller quantities because they are more "rich".
Sorry if this is too much info. I tend to be long-winded.
Hope it can help!
