Thanks for your reply Belinda. The only time they are feed a little less than listed is their breakfast. They all get just a little less. But if you could see the circles they do on the couches and around the house, the pups are very high strung.

I’ve done a lot of research on how much I should feed them, but the lady at the pet store said I was over feeding and I should stick to the feeding guide lines on the back of the package. The guidelines are for dogs, not puppies. I tried explaining to her that and she kept insisting I would have over weight dogs sooner than later.

Any other advice is welcome, thanks again.

I am curious now on the amount of food I should be feeding my pups. The lady at the pet store was very certain I’m over feeding all the dogs by a lot. They are eating EarthBorne Hollistic, coastal catch.

Bruno, 1/2 cane corso 3/8 bull mastiff 1/8 rottweiler, born 11/22, just over 40 pounds. Fed 3 times a day, 1 3/4 cups of food per feeding.

Zuessa, doberman pincher, born 12/1, just under 30 pounds. Fed 3 times a day 1 1/2 cups of food per feeding.

Bruce, Pitbull mix, 2 years old, 65 pounds. Fed 2 times a day 1 3/4 of food per feeding.

Dolci, weimaraner, 12 years old, 45 pounds. Fed 2 times a day 1 1/2 cups of food per feeding.

None of my dogs look fat, they are lean. All of the dogs are high energy, daily walks, lots of play time.

Suggestions?

Crazy4Cats,

My bf and I found a good brand at tractor supply, EarthBorne Hollistic, we have successfully changed over all 4 dogs. Every one seems happy and healthy! I noticed this pet store on Facebook had just opened. They carry all grain free products, high end food. My BF and I went and checked it out, skeptical, thinking it would all be over priced. They are actually cheaper and WAY more knowledgeable, the lady that assisted me was happy we were feeding Earth borne. so far so good 🙂 I will figure out how to post a picture of the crew. I’m glad I’ve found this site, and a nice pet store! Hopefully this food works out, if not, we now at least have other options.

Thank you crazy 4 cats. I’m still having a hard time finding a decent feed for my pups in my area. My bf and I are debating ordering food online to be delivered. This is really tough to figure out!

Hello! I’m new to being a puppy mom. My boyfriend and I recently got our own puppies. I have a cane corso mastiff/bull mastiff(dob 11/22/14), my bf has a doberman pincher(dob 12/1/14). As of right now they are eating a low quality food, Purina puppy chow. We’ve both been doing a lot of reading as to what we should switch them both to. Since they are both going to be large dogs, we were hoping to find a very good quality of food that would beneficial to the both of them. Any suggestions?

Also, my bf has a 12yo weimaraner, she’s 42pounds, and I have a 2yo pitbull/ridgeback or lab or Shepard something mix maybe? He’s 65 pounds. We have them both on Taste of the Wild. After a lot of reading on this site, I understand it did not make it on the list created by HDM, any suggestions on what might be suitable for our 2 current full grown dogs? Is there a possibility there might be a food that would be generally healthy for all 4 of our dogs, once the pups have matured more?

I have at the most 2 weeks of puppy food left… I’ve never been so excited about dog food being almost gone before…

Thank you for your time, any input is appreciated.

Amanda
