The question was about changing from a Purina Puppy Chow to Purina Beneful, this was my answer
This is one food I tell my Puppy Families to stay off of. It is rated F on that list that Phrannie has. It is all corn.Did you read the ingredients? If you go to Walmart or DG Where ever it is least expensive for you. Read the ingredients and as long as the first 2 start with Meat and Meat by products the food is good, according to my Vet. He says he doesn't care what name it is or brand. He just wants to see the first two ingredients say meat of some kind.Chicken, Lamb, Beef, whatever and the byproduct of that.
If the first ingredients are Meat and Meat byproducts the dogs won't get fat. Purina Puppy Chow is corn and corn byproducts and it makespuppies fat. I don't use it anymore. My puppies look and do great sinceI took them off of it. Corn makes dogs fat.
My brother is on a limited budget and we went to Walmart and found alarge bag of food for a price he can afford and it was beef and beef byproducts. Just shop and read.
Now granted there are better foods than others but if your budget is limited (as many of ours are lately) you can still get a good food if you know what you are looking for.
Purina Beneful is that the brand you are asking about. If not Idon't know about Beneficial? If you still want to go with Beneful thereare some online coupons if you do a Google search for them.
If you change them Cold Turkey they may or may not get the runs. If you do Cold Turkey have some Kaopectate handy. This you can get the store brand cheaper too. They will not get sick they just may get a runny bowel for a couple of days. I guess that can be sickening
