    Hey I’ve been feeding my dog this food his whole life and I wanted to get some opinions on it. He’s a 11 month old working line german shepherd. It’s a freshly made slow cooked food that I get delivered to my home every 4 weeks. These are the ingredients, this is the puppy formula.

    These are their other foods that they offer. Which would you guys recommend I switch my German shepherd to once he’s 12 months and no longer needs the puppy formula. From what I’ve read grain free is not a good thing so I’m skeptical of those.

    I would say the chicken meal or salmon recipes. A few of the recipes have quite a few legumes in them, which increases the protein content of the food, but is controversial. I feed one dog Dr. Harvey’s Canine health mix (you have to prepare it and add protein and fat), and the other gets Open Farm with chicken breast as a topper. Sounds like your brand has some good ingredients, and locally made! Good on you!
