new puppy

gsmom · 09-30-2011, 02:45 PM

my female gsd will be arriving in 8 days.
currently she is on Nature's select puppy kibble, which I cannot get
where I live. Breeder also recommended: Taste of the Wild, Evo, Origin and BlueBuffalo.
Would love to get your opinion. I hate to change the food she is on, but I can't find it anywhere!
Thanks!

I feed my puppy Wellness Large Breed Puppy. It is very similar to Blue Buffalo, almost an exact match and a couple of dollars less expensive.

Post a pic of your puppy when you get it.
Congratulations!

TOTW, EVO, and Orijen are all grain free. You have to be careful feeding grain free to puppies because of the calcium content. Nature's Select is NOT grain-free. If I were you I'd stick with a high-quality all life stanges (not puppy) food, and I certainly wouldn't rule out one with grains.

I feed my puppy Orijen large breed puppy, but it could be a pain as well to try to find it locally. Usually small specialized pet stores carry it. I heard that Taste of The Wild is not good for puppies, but is great for adult dogs.

Good luck with your girl!

Hi gsmom,
I know that is one gorgeous pup you are getting

I order all my food from Pet food direct... shipping offsets the tax, I am sure they have what you need.

All the best with your new pup !!!

I got food shipped from the doggiefood.com advertiser here on the board - came quick and was cheaper than buying it locally...and saved 20 bucks on gas to go to pick it up locally (sorta !!) too!

the foods she recommend are all good quality foods

Thanks for the info! Our new girls name is "Only" Kaya. I will be needing lots of help. This forum is wonderful. Delta is beautiful. I hope our dog will get to the beach and love it!

I feed mine Solid Gold Wolf Cub, Orijen was too rich for him.
