Food & NutritionNew pure bred lab puppy on the way, will be 8 weeks old when I bring him home. I am overwhelmed by the food choices. I am on a budget but will buy whatever food I need to that is healthy for my dog. Best puppy food for labs that won’t break the bank?
When cost is a concern I go with Purina Pro-Plan or Purina One. Really good foods actually. I suggest this one for a growing lab. He should be on a large breed puppy food until he is about 10 months old then you can go to adult food. Shop around as you may find a lower price for it somewhere else. ( https://www.walmart.com/ip/Purina-ONE-SmartBlend-Natural-Large-Breed-Formula-Dry-Puppy-Food-16-5-lb-Bag/21553442 ) Don't buy into all this grain-free, all natural, blue buffalo junk. It is not worth the money and these diets have now been shown in clinical studies to cause heart disease. Stick with companies that do clinical trials on their foods to make sure they are balanced and healthy (like Purina). Hope this helps. Best wishes!
