Congrats to your daughter on her new pup! I’d say the weight she’s at currently seems on target for an eight week old lab.
One thing your daughter should keep in mind is that there are actually only two AAFCO nutrient profiles, one is growth, the other adult maintenance. Growth is the same thing as “All Life Stages.” Foods that are labeled for puppies are growth, or ALS, foods. Growth foods are suitable for dogs of all ages, but adult maintenance foods should only be fed to adults.
I could be mistaken, but I highly doubt that HDM has any foods on her list that aren’t ALS foods.
One more thing your daughter might want to pick up when she’s out is a can of plain, canned, pumpkin puree for the inevitable new puppy loose stool.
