what food for pup?

Just wondering what you guys recommend for a pup 3 months old.

 

Taste of the wild... its all life stages. I feed it from 4 weeks old to senior.

 

Diamond puppy formula. High protein and nice solid turd nuggets.

 

is it bad for the pup's kidney for such high protein in a young stage?

 

astronomical protein percentages for a puppy is not needed.

 

they also dont hurt the pup, give me the scientific info that this will influence the pup in the wrong ways?
if the body gets to much of carbohydrates it will turn into body fatt, if it will get to much protein the body will put this out. ( sry for my english)
i feed my pup orijen orginal red, also high on protein and suited for all life stages.

 

I use exceed chicken and rice. Keeps my dogs real healthy. All stages of life food. I hear kirkland puppy food is good also...

 

orijen is to high, i'd never give that to a dog outside conditioning periods, I'd never even use it then, still to high. Why do you think a dog needs that much protein for daily maintenance, explain.

 

To much protein will cause the Kidneys to have to work extra hard, which isn't a good thing.

 

Totw pacific stream is not high protein.

That said, ive fed high protein for a long time. My dogs do just fine. Bloodwork is always perfect, including kidney values. There is no proven scientific evidence that high protein damages the kidneys.

Calcium to phosphorus ratios is what is important, and most high quality dog foods have great ratios.

 

Also, I think the amount u feed and the quality of the ibgredients used is more important.

The higher protein foods dont require u to feed nearly as much to achieve great results, whether ur dog works hard ir not. Just my personal experience.

 

RAW for mine

 

hear ya go!

 

I agree raw is definitly best, as long as u research it and know what ur doing. But it's not feasible for everyone. Just depends on what resources are available to u and what cost it incurs. I myself don't have a place for a feezer nor do I have good places to get what i'd need to consistently feed raw. But one day I hope to be able to achieve this....

 

i feed both totw and raw to mine. prob will be on full raw at about 4 months old

 

thx for the comments

 

no its puppy formula, formulated for a puppy. Im no scientist, but assure you its quality and not harmful.

 

protein cannot be oversupplied

just stick with a good pup kibble like arden grange for now then maybe later look into adding a bit o raw

 

okay another ? for you more experience owners, how do you feed your pup? give it buffet or two times a day. I do two times a day but he seems to not eat as much that way.
