    Pitluv,

    Thanks! I will have to keep looking! What are your thoughts on rotating proteins?

    My reasoning behind wanting to use grain free is to lessen the likelihood of skin/allergy issues.

    Thanks again for your help!

    Hi!
    We are getting our Bullmastiff puppy this week and the breeder has her on 4Health grain free puppy food. We are thinking about switching her to Fromm Heartland Gold Large Breed puppy food and Wellness Core Puppy Food. Rotating them because they are different proteins every month to 2 months. Fromm is beef, pork & lamb and the Wellness is chicken & turkey.

    Wellness Core Puppy Food: Calcium: 4.0g per 1000 kcal
    Cal to P ratio= 1.5 to 1
    Fromm Heartland Gold LBP Food: Calcium: 3.0g per 1000 kcal
    Ca to P ratio= 1.1 to 1

    The Wellness Core Puppy Food is pretty high in protein @ 36% min. & fat 18% min. Do you think those are too high for a growing Bullmastiff puppy? I don’t want her to grown too fast! Also, how do you feel about rotating proteins? Is it necessary? Grain Free? Again, necessary? Thanks! I can’t believe how difficult and confusing it’s been trying to find a good puppy food! Thank goodness for this site!!
