Hello I will soon be getting an 8 week old St Bernard puppy and I was curious if any one had any suggestions on what type of food to feed him. I have a 11month old boxer now that is on Canidae all life stages lamb and rice. I know Saints are big dogs that have hip and joint issues and I want to make the right decision on what to feed him. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Well- I feed a raw diet, but 8 weeks old is too young because of teeth.
I would start with like solid gold puppy and we go from there. ... You need dense calorie, highly digestable but balenced in calcium and phosorous so to balence the bone growth with building muscle..

I'm thinking that if you are buying the dog from a reputable breeder, the breeder will be providing specific feeding information and perhaps a starter bag of food.
