Puppy Food Brands of choice?

[tinymwoods]

I am wondering what everyone's thoughts are on the best puppy food out there. I use to always use Purina puppy chow, but I am looking for something better. Seems to me as though they have a lot of waste on Puppy Chow and I don't like the ingredient list at all. I would never feed my adult dogs a corn based dog food but that is what Puppy Chow is. I am looking at Diamond or maybe Pride. Just wondering if any one has any experience with either of these. One I will never use is Nutro, like to starved my dogs to death. Looks good on paper but dogs did BAD on it. Thanks!

I have had good luck with Diamond puppy. I really like Nutri-Source puppy but I have 4 bags of Pride puppy in the garage waiting for pups no pups so I have been mixing about 3 to 1 and feeding all the dogs. It looks and smells good and the dogs had no problem adjusting and I had to cut back the feed as they were gaining weight. So I guess in short Diamond, Pride, or Nutri-Source have all worked for me.

last two pups I've had which would me my lightning dog and my thunder dog. I gave them Royal Canin puppy chow.

I use Pro Plan Puppy. The ingredients is top of the line, the number 1 ingredient is Chicken. The pup right now is growing like a weed, looks very healthy, is always on the go and seems to be very happy. I will continue to use this feed. It's pretty pricey, 40lbs at $27.00.

There is very little waste and its always firm.

No. What joey is feeding is pretty pricey. For that price you could be feeding them New York Strip.

Iams puppy food is a good 1 as well as Pro Plan JMO

whats wrong with feeding them the same feed as your adult dogs last 2 litters n last pup i got thats what i did they did real well on it i use to use purina puppy chow and have used JOY puppy chowif you feed a good quality adult feed i see no reason the pups cant eat it dont seem to have affected any of my dogs jb

Got 6 puppies on Diamond puppy food right now, all seem to be doing great on it. Started on wet feed at 4 weeks and dry at 5 weeks. Weaned all at 5 weeks.

Diomond naturals blue bag puppy here.I think 16 pound bag goes for 19 bucks. Check the ingrediants out i don't think you can do much better for the price.

I would say pride puppy food is my favorite. good price and pups are fat as can be on it.

I like the Pride Puppy, and the Diamond puppy better than the Purina. I had used Purina for years until 3 or 4 years ago. It will crap them to death, and a bigger bag is hard to find without all the dye in it.

Has anyone tried Black Gold Puppy chow?

[DRamey]

I fed my pups the Pride 26/20 Pro, not a puppy chow but they did better than any pups I have had in a long time. I supplemented with leftover cornbread, gravy and biscuits from the table,which I have been hesitant to do in the past but they grew like horses and had no problems at all.

[mike crabtree]

I did, but it isnt available here anymore. It worked fine.
