Yes, if it is good quality food, such as Canidae, Innova, Natural Balance, Nature's Variety, California Natural, Eagle Pack, etc. I'm sure that out of those, Canidae and Natural Balance are all-life stages formulas, so I would recommend those. You can find Natural Balance at Petco. >^_^<

Be sure to provide your puppy with plenty of things to chew on in a variety of textures to keep his/her teeth clean.

canned dog food is around 80% water, and has very low nutritional value, usually 8% protien, 5% oil-compare this to dry foods, 30% protien, 20% oil. a high quality dry food, like nutro, is much better for him/her, will cost you less and will make picking up after your puppy much easier.
