The Esbilac puppy w/ pre and pro biotics and FV 20/50 are both good formula's.
Esbilac most of the time is tolerated for younger babies better then the FV20/50 which has more fat.
However after a certain age many members will transition to a 50-50 mix of esbilac -FV for the fat and
better weight gain for those who need it. Some will transition fully over to the FV20/50. As said, they
are both good formula's excluding to those babies that go to Goat's milk due to intolerance.
It is all about the bowels with formula's, that's the reason for transition regardless of what formula
you go with.
