My husband and I are getting a GSD puppy from our breeder this week and we're super excited to have him with us but we want to feed him the best we can afford. I know RAW has been said as the best, but honestly we just don't have the room for the frozen foods, and I don't necessarily have the time/knowledge to feed it. Thus its just not an option for us at this very point in our lives (but we are going to revisit it eventually).

That being said. We're looking to spend up to $60/30lb bag (Canadian dollars) for puppy/dog food. I've been informed that large breed puppy food is better than regular puppy food. And that sometimes you can get away with just feeding puppy food! But I'm just so confused as to which food is really better. We don't want to have to switch dog foods because its been recalled.

I live in a city with several different private owned stores as well as a Walmart and a Petsmart. So I would be able to get MOST dog foods. What do you suggest?

Thanks for your time!
