Cooper10 Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Hey folks, We have just got a new Staffie puppy. He is 8 weeks old and is currently fed on Advance puppy food. I am thinking about changing his food as he doesn't always eat much of this. Can anyone recommend the best dry food for a puppy? I was thinking about Eagle Pack... any thoughts? I was also thinking about mixing in a little wet food just to make things a little more interesting, any thoughts? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamSnag Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 (edited) Id stick with what the breeder has set out for the puppy..Advance is a great food.. try adding some oily sardines to his dry and fresh meat/chicken necks.. Could also add a lil natural yogurt... Raw is always better.. my guys get 10% dry good 90% raw on there daily meals..

rubiton Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 The best dry food it the one your dog does best on. If not eating the current one try a small bag of something else and just be aware of any changes both for better or worse. There is one dry food we got (came in a cool barrel which we still use for storing her food) and after a while she got a lot of dandruff and her coat looked dry and flat. Switched back to previous food and her coat returned to normal - so after that avoided the one she did not do well on. RAW food can be high in fat so while they are young no problems but some dogs cannot have the raw bones etc when they get older - not always best.

Cooper10 Posted July 10, 2010 Author Share Posted July 10, 2010 Thanks for the replies I am not sure I want to spend a fortune on food. There are so may out there and so much talk about premium dog foods. Are they all really that much better or is it ok to go with just a 'supermarket' food like Optimum or maybe pedigree?

rubiton Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 For wet food (cans) we use the optimum healthy weight but I needed to find something that was low in fat but at the supermarket and that had the closest to the prescription diet she had been on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
