Hi 5924920 –
Just so you’re aware – an “all life stages food” is a “puppy food.” There’s no difference in the nutrient requirements for the food, the only difference is how the company chooses to market the food. The AAFCO only recognizes two nutrient profiles: growth or adult maintenance. If a food conforms to the more stringent growth profile it can then be labeled as a growth (puppy) formula or an all life stages formula. Most high quality brands market all life stages foods only because they don’t wish to produce the lower quality maintenance foods, so by searching for a “puppy” food only you’d be severely limiting your options and not getting any advantage over an all life stages food.
