Hi Everyone! I'm new to this forum, and I have SO many questions for you all. I'm the proud mama of an almost 5 month old Neapolitan Mastiff, Moose. When I picked him up from the breeder at 8 weeks, he was on Puppy Chow. I immediately started weaning him off of that, and on to Blue Buffalo's Large Breed Puppy foood. Chicken and brown rice, if I'm not mistaken. He's been on that food alone (3 cups of food twice a day (he's a monster). His stool has been soft for so long now, and sometimes it's diarrhea. I've taken him to the vet tons of times, and she's checked for all the parasites, worms, etc. He was on a round of antibiotics, too. But still, nothing. I'm switching him over to Merrick's Dry Puppy Food (chicken, brown rice, and green pea). Do any of you have experience with this puppy food? I was talking to the owner of the local pet store, and he was saying that with a high quality food like Merrick, getting the large breed puppy as opposed to regular puppy food wouldn't make a difference. I've read so many things on having big pups like Mastiffs on both. Moose is already almost 70 lbs. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. My vet is fairly useless, she constantly recommends that I put him on Iams or Purina. Thanks so much in advance!
