    Thanks Aimee.

    As I said at the top of this thread, there are praises and horror stories with all sorts of claims, many of which say seemingly dangerous and negative things/products/sources companies use or have started to use in their dog foods.

    I really wish those who make those claims would substantiate them with a link to a reputable source that verifies their claim….if that solid proof doesn’t exist, its all just white noise.

    so if i went auto ship…with a large breed puppy…approximately how frequent should the auto ship be? i realize each breed is and size is different. just curious if there is a good “average” starting place for an auto ship.

    Thanks
    chewy.com looks pretty good.

    I appreciate your insight.

    I have calculated the following.

    Calcium Content Analyzer

    1.58 % Calcium
    1.04 % Phosphorus
    3400 kcal / kg

    Calcs therefore at Calcium = 4.6 g per 1000 kcal
    Ca to P ratio = 1.5 to 1

    This is for Whole Earth Farms Puppy Food. Suppose to be fit for all sizes of puppys.

    Is this ok? its close to recommended levels of 4.5 g per 1000 kcal and a ratio of 1.5:1

    Thoughts? I have this food available locally and its reasonably priced.

    Does this food work for a large breed lab puppy?

    Thanks

    What about Whole Earth Farms for a Large Breed Puppy?

    Is it adequate for a large breed Lab and why?

    Thanks

    There are nearly 1700 posts in that topic you pointed me too. More specifically I am asking for a list of some sort that is ordered by cost to feed. Feeds can cost anywhere from $1.00/lb to $2.5/lb or more.

    That’s a huge swing. so back to the heart of my question, is there anywhere on this forum where there is a break down of quality foods from a cost perspective.

    Maybe its somewhere in that topic on large breed dogs, if it is, pointed to the page # would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you
