Anyone recommend using a Large Breed puppy formula ?
Submitted by kimrisa on April 21, 2010 - 12:36amGood evening! I'm looking to transition my 16-week old pup off of puppy kibble since he's 16 weeks old and his C. Natural puppy formula is not working for him anyway. I know that bulldog puppies should be on a kibble in the 20-25% range after the first three months. As I begin the not-so-fun process of trying to find a kibble that works better for his sensitive digestive system, I see that most of the dog food brands now offer a Large Breed puppy formula. (For instance, Wellness Super5Mix Large Breed puppy formula has 26% Protein, 13.5% fat, 1.4% Calcium and is 366 kcal per cup. In comparison their Super 5 Mix Complete Health for Dogs is 22% Protein, 12% Fat, 1.2% Calcium and is 405 kcal per cup). So I'm looking for some guidance in regard to whether I should look for a Large Breed Puppy formula to keep him on for the first year or just go straight to an all stages adult formula? Also what's a good calories per cup guide to look for for a growing pup..?
Thanks!

He doesn't need puppy food
Just put him on a good all stages food.
why not.....
.....the puppy food for the higher protein amount? I would think you pup is growing faster than an adult dog so the protien would be important. As for the digestion problem either find a different puppy food or look into adding a natural food supplement.
