You can buy solid gold barking at the moon dog food in two different sizes: 15lbs and 33lbs
Of the ones on your list, which one offers the best for a puppy? Innova?
We have a 12 wk old Yorkie who way 2.2 lbs and has been eating Nutro puppy. I’m figuring the protein should be around 30% or less for this little boy.
Orijen and Acana are top of the line dog foods and both have puppy food. Now, Artemis, Wellness, Merrick, C.N.,Blue Buffalo and Solid gold all have decent to good puppy food. Kirkland (Costco) also has a fairly decent puppy food. Keep in mind all dogs do not do good on all dog foods. I have heard Innova is already starting to have issues with their dog food now that P&G bought them out. I always recomend adding a little unseasoned cooked meat (not fat and egg once in awhile) to all dogs diet and a good Vitamin can never hurt. Because I feed top of the line kibble(and a little real meat), I only use half the recomended amount of vitys to my dog.
I also wait at least a half hour after feeding before I give him any real meat and he thinks he is getting treats.
Here is a good site to look at what ingredients you should “not” feed your dog…Do a little reading and pick the one best for your dog.
