I had asked on here about thoughts on slowing down a pup that was just destroying her food in a feeding frenzy. Lots of great advice was received including a special bowl to slow her down. We found such a bowl at a local pet store and it has definitely slowed her down. Maggie still attacks just as voraciously, but the lugs in the bowl force her to work much harder to pick the kibble up,slowing her down considerably. This particular bowl is made by J.W. Pet Supplies. Thanks for all the help!!!! My link

Our new pup Maggie is scary when she eats her TOW meals. (2X a day about 3/4 cup each meal) I have never seen a dog wolf/vacuum down food like she does. She gets into a near frenzy and inhales the kibble without any chewing - All gone in less than 30 seconds. She's about 14 weeks old and surprisingly today is the first time she puked it all up after about 20 mins. Not one kibble was chewed at all. She is very healthy with lots of energy and good vet check ups. Her stools are very good. I don't see how there is anything we can do to stop this. Does anyone have any experience with this, suggestions, etc.

Our 12 week old BC started out on Wellness For Puppies and was doing great. Due to an astronomical price hike from Wellness we have had her on TOW Wetlands Formula with Roasted Fowl. She seems to be doing great with it, some soft stools for the first week-ten days but now very stable firm stools, no real abnormal itching and energy to beat the band. She also poops much less frequently than when on the Wellness, but I'm thinking that is just her little body going through change.

PRICE LEAP!!!! Well, our 9 week old BC got one bag of Wellness For Puppies in her and was doing great on it. I paid 11.99 for the bag about 2 weeks ago. Went to get another bag and it had jumped to $17.99! Back to the drawing board and dogfoodadvisor.com to find a new brand.....

Would anyone be able to offer any advice or experience with either of these two brands of puppy food? I have been scouring all the places within a reasonable distance to see what is available and will fit our budget and I have identified these two foods as possibilities. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
