Health & WellbeingI was wondering what should I feed my 7 week old golden retriever puppy. I was thinking of getting blue buffalo and my vet told me Purina puppy chow. However I was very concerned with the ingredients in purina what puppy food would you recommend?
Bailey is adorable! This is a great question, and I would always recommend Purina over Blue Buffalo. I personally do not like Blue Buffalo, same as many of my colleagues. The problem with BB is that they do not own their own factories, so they hand their recipes over to another company to make their food, therefore leading to no quality control over their food. They have admitted this. In addition, BB has caused terrible gas in many animals who have been fed it. There are four brands I highly recommend because they have quality control and veterinary nutritionists on staff to make sure their food recipe is balanced and meeting the needs of dogs. They are Royal Canin, Hill's Science diet, Purina ProPlan, and Iams (Eukanuba). I highly recommend feeding one of these brands in the puppy formula for Bailey. I hope this helps :-)
