Suggestions for dry dog food for a 25 lb puggle, currently on Evolve?

My one year old puggle is currently on Evolve, a premium dog food, but it is not available from stores nearby. Any suggestions for a quality food that is more readily available at Petco? They have science diet, natural balance and several others, but I get overwhelmed by all the hype. Money is not a problem, she is a small dog and we go through a 20 lb bag in one month, but she has a delicate stomach, and I don't want to change her food more than necessary. Thanks for your suggestions.

1. You should really try to find Canidae, it's one of the best and my dogs do great on it. You can pretty much find it in better pet stores. Oh, and you have a Pug MIX....no Puggle!! No such breed, please call it the way it is.
2. I would suggest Canidae ... its good not in regular grocery stores...or chain stores this food is good for all dogs even your mutt! good luck
3. I use Royal Canin from petsmart she loves it and we have never had a problem with it.
4. You sound a lot like me. I have a 10mos old English Bulldog now but when we first got him I wanted him on the best food possible, money wasn't a problem. Evolve is a good food but if you're having issues getting it there are a few others that are just as good if not a little better too. I am hooked on Royal Canin, it's kinda expensive but really great dry food. Cool thing about Royal Canin is that they have a special food blend for almost everybreed of dog. You probably want the "Mini, Indoor Puppy" one, or "Small Breed" when he's older. The other option is Solid Gold, probably the Hundchen Flocken one. Thats a great food too. You definitely want to stay away from the bulk brand stuff and the foods they carry at grocery stores, horrible for your dog. They are mostly made of cornmeal, wheats, etc. and contain low nutritional value. Whichever food you choose, switch over gradually, over the course of a week or two. Start with like 80% usual food and 20% new food for a few days then work up from there with the new food. End up on all new food after about 10-14 days. This will ease the stomach of your dog and adjust it to the new food. Good luck!
