Can I buy bulk food for a puppy?

Is bulk wet dog food worth it?

Multipacks and cartons of wet food are handy if you feed it every day, since you can keep a steady stock. Just make sure you'll use it up before the best before date, and store opened tins in the fridge. Many owners mix wet food with kibble for variety.

What should I do before switching to a new bulk food?

Start with a smaller bag to check your dog enjoys it and tolerates it well. Switch gradually over 7 to 10 days, and watch their stools, coat and energy. If everything looks good, you can move up to a larger pack. If you notice tummy upsets, check in with your vet.
