What the best kind of Dog Food for Puppy?

[MagicToller]

There's alot of debate about it, but it really boils down to what your dog thrives on.

I don't want to name a brand, because I don't want to give you a biased opinion - but nutrition wise, most commercial dog food brands are quite lacking. I recommend finding a premium dog food that does not have Corn or Corn Glutton meal in the first three ingredients. (Also, becareful with "grouping" which is a technique companies use to push Meat to the first ingredient. Look for specific ingredients like "chicken meal" instead of "poultry meal".)

If you opt against purchasing Ultra-Premium brands,You can take a trip to your local petstore, and see that some brands have premium dog food lines which have a much agreeable ingredients list. If not, check out some of these brands:

Eaglepack
Bluebuffalo
Canidae
Chicken Soup for the Dog Lovers Soul

Here's an additional link on RAW feeding as well, to have as an option. You may or may not like this idea.

You'll probably get a lot of different answers on this one, as there are many great foods out there. I would just advise that you stay away from brands you can buy at the supermarket, too many by-products and fillers, and it's kind of like us eating McDonalds everyday.. no nutritional value! I have Taz on a holistic, all natural food, **** Von Patten's Natural Balance, and I have nothing but great things to say about it, and it's good for any life stage, including puppies. It is worth the extra money if you can spare. I had Taz on Purina Beneful before I got educated, and the change paid off. Anyway, there are a lot of wonderful all natural foods out there, so research some of them and go with what you think will best suit your pup. A lot of people have to switch around a lot to find the right one. Best of luck!

The best food, RAW for sure!

As for kibble, I'd suggest Canidae, Innova, California Natural, DVP.

My suggestion is to read through all the old postings, and make a decision for yourself. There is a lot of good information in the previous posts!!
