Re: puppy food....

both of my pups started on the foods you listed above..they now eat innova....check the ingredients on the dog food bag...make sure the first few ingredients are a meat (not wheat or a by product etc.)

Re: puppy food....


ITA- with the pp check the first five ingredients they should be pretty much a protein source. From talking to our vet millet, barley, oatmeal, and brown rice are ok sources of grain. Watch out for fillers like corn, corn flour.

It really depends on the dog when it comes to diet some are just more sensitive to what is in the food.

We give our puppy Orijen, and Wellness CORE and he is very happy with lots of energy.

Re: puppy food....

I personally would not give my dogs Purina, it's not really a high quality dog food.

We gave our puppy Wellness for Puppies (large breed b/c that's what we have). Also, Innova is an excellent brand also.

Re: puppy food....

I dont think Purina is on the top list of high quailty food. Ekunabu is and so is Science Diet, Wellness, Blue Buffalo, Nutro

We started on Eukanuma too, that's what she got when she was a tiny puppy. After that we switched to wellness large breed puppy, but it didn't work for us because of digestive issues. She's been on blue buffalo and it looks like that's what we will stick with. Like the other posters mentioned look at the ingredients and make sure the first few don't contain fillers. The first one should be a meat.
