Which dry food for puppy

[drivinmecrazy]

Have a ten week old Weimaraner puppy and very befuddled by the choice available.
Preferably dry food.
What do or did you feed your pup?

We feed our 14 week old lab puppy, burns puppy food.

Forthglade Cold Pressed

We've steadily gone up in price from pretty much the bottom of the scale (was a rescue puppy so started on pedigree chum as that's what she was used to) and the first dry food that seemed to agree with her was James Wellbeloved. The difference is huge actually.

I was feeding Carnilove puppy food which she loved but it made her farts smell terrible so I’m switching her to Auturkey to see how she fares on that.

Millie's Wolfheart is great dry food

Our cocker spaniel puppy has AVA for medium breed, he’s been fine on it, gaining weight nicely. He does have a couple of spoon fulls of butchers grain free wet puppy food with each meal too to change up the flavour every few days too.

Completely depends on your budget

As a cheap option I love jollyes own brand lifestage grain free
For a dry dog food and for the price it's good quality

Check out all about dog food it gives a good break down of what is in the food

We use Nourish salmon and sweet potato which seems good and the puppy likes it too!

What did your breeder feed the puppy? If you change his food remember to change it over very gradually others can cause stomach upsets.
Try asking at a good pet shop or at vets. Be wary of the cheapest. You probably need something with a good protein content ( usually chicken) as Weimaraner are very energetic dogs.

We use Arden grange for our lab cross, started with the chicken one and have moved onto the sensitive white fish version though this is harder to find unless online which is something I had wanted to avoid really. We buy a big sack at a time.

It is expensive compared to many others, but he does well on it and it seems more nutritionally dense than the kibble we had him on originally which was a mid range brand. It lasts longer too as he needs less. And it suits him, no smelly wind and good stools. The chicken version was good too, but he has a lot of chicken for training so thought we'd try something different.

I spent a lot of time researching and found this website helpful: www.allaboutdogfood.co.uk

I use Applaws, but I think it's only for small and medium breeds... was the best meat content that I could find in a dry food though

Salmon and rice variety made by Pero, though we buy it under a different name. My Lab is sensitive to chicken. It's around £27 for 12 kg.

Wolfworthy is a very high quality dry food (highest rated kibble on allaboutdogfood). Mine love it and you can feed it from being a puppy.

@Spanielsarepainless can I please check what's the brand name? I also have lab puppy that is not happy on his current dry food which I either mix with buchers, chicken or raw egg to make it more palatable

The manufacturer is Pero but our local farm shop sells it under their own name, say Grange Farm Feeds, so perhaps worth ringing round. The farm shop bags are roughly half the price of buying Pero brand of the same food.

I feed Iams with some blueberries in it and I’m going to add salmon oil and bone broth to it.
