My Basset pup is 7 1/2 months old now and weighs 36lbs. To me he looks a little thin (he is very long). He's been fed Natural Choice Lamb & Rice Large Breed Puppy formula since we've had him. He's never really excited to eat. Lately I've been thinking of switching foods and heard of Innova Evo. It's got something like 42% protein and 22% fat. It looks like a great kibble. Do any of you feed your Bassets Evo? I know it's hard to tell without seeing the dog, but do you think his weight is ok? He was just at the vet on Monday (he was limping a little) and the vet says he looks healthy.

Thanks for all of the responses.
About his limping, the vet felt both of his rear legs and moved them around, he thought that everything was ok and that he probably just twisted something a little. He put him on some pain meds and told me that if I didn't see any improvement over the next week I should bring him in for X-Rays. He has been walking a lot better lately but is still favoring his right rear leg sometimes.
Regarding the food, everyone I talk to about evo says it is one of the best dry foods you can buy. My question now is he too young to be on this food or is it ok at this age? He looks healthy and has a nice shiny coat. This is my first basset and just looks thin compared to others I've seen as well as some of the pictures that I see here.
