It's a bit confusing researching what's best for puppies of larger breeds in particular because there are different trains of thought on it. Some swear by the lower protein foods because it keeps their growth rate more smooth and under control where others will say higher proteins because dogs aren't meant to eat foods with grains in them at all. I think there is truth to both sides really.

In my personal experience with our 8 month old curly coated retriever we have had to try a bit of both to figure out what was working best for her because she is extremely picky and has had issues with stomach bacteria problems and some minor inflammation issues with her bones.

ps too much vitamin A in their diet at a young age can cause weakness in bones so be mindful of that if doing any people food supplementation.
So true. Hill's puts vets through school to recruit for their sales army -- and that food is utter shit. The first 5 ingredients suck.

I use Bil jac. The company has been around for a long time, and a 25lb of food has 10 lbs of chicken in it(at least thats what they say). Make sure the food ingredients are simple and not hard to pronounce chemicals and fillers.

Basically, if you can buy the food at the grocery store, then its a brand you should stay away from.
