Myles (puggle) is 1 1/2 years old. We have had him on VéRUS since we brought him home. The only problem we had with the fish formula was that this little one would scarf down the food. We were afraid since he wasn't chewing it that it wouldn't digest properly. We called the VéRUS customer service and asked what we should do since the Opticoat was working so well on our other dog. They told us that in order to see the full benefits of the fish formula, our dog only needed to stay on it for 3 months and then it was perfectly Okay to switch. The very friendly girl on the phone said that it "balances the acidic level in a dog's body". Once doing so, she said maintaining either the Life Advantage (chicken) or Adult Maintenance (lamb) will be plenty of nutrition for our dog (s). 

We ended up putting them both on the Adult Maintenance (lamb) formula as it had a larger kibble. It has been 4 months since we took them off the Opticoat (fish) and they are doing exceptionally well. Thanks VéRUS!
