Ok i have a couple questions here im hoping some one can help me out with.

1. Achilles stool has always been soft, it keeps its log shape but still not firm. I am currently feeding 3 cups of science diet and i plan to switch after i finish the last 20lbs of it. Is the softish poop normal? I only ask this question because last night i took achilles for a walk and he had to potty. I tried picking it up with the doggy bags but it was too soft and too big so i had to leave it. (Gross, i know)

2. Twice i have heard that i need to slow down achilles' growth. Once was from a BLUE dog food rep that was explaining to me that i should feed achilles BLUE cause even the pupppy has something in it that doesnt boost his growth as much, and if i dont he will develop joint problems. Then the other preson was a vet that said at six months achilles should be off puppy food and on dog food so he doesnt develop bone problems. Is this true?

3. Lastly since everyone seem to like TOTW thats what im going to switch to, but the only place i can find it locally is at a feed store. Its not at petco, i find that kind of odd. Is there a reason why petco would not carry the brand?
