Hound Dog Mom: I am a new member to the forum and clearly your experience, knowledge base is impressive. My adult Daughter picked up her 8wk old female black labrador this morning. She emailed me that the puppy was being fed a Purina product and she would like to upgrade. She needs to be a little careful within her budget. The Dam is rather small for the breed and this puppy seems light for her age 13 -14 lbs. I have researched your recommendations of 4/5 star food – but don’t see many specifically for puppies. Should I extrapolate that to imply that all are suitable (calcium levels noted). She asked me if the puppy would do well on the Kirkland Salmon Nature’s Domain food, or should she try the Wellness Core series or perhaps Fromm Gold Holistic LB puppy. I advised her to stay with the current food for a few days to a week so puppy can acclimate to it’s new home without a new diet thrown in as well. Your thoughts are welcome. Thank you.
