QUESTION:

My girlfriend just bought some GO naturals allstages dog food we have an 11 week old small breed puppy and i am wondering if a puppy formulated dog food would be better we are still feeding the puppy puppy food from the breeder and will probably be stopping in to your store on wed. I guess i would like your opinion on the subject as my vet says to use a puppy formulated food ????

ANSWER:

Hi Ryan,

As long as you are feeding a well balanced dog food as Go Natural you may not need a "puppy" food. The foods that are coming out now are mostly all stage due to the fact they are very well balanced. A puppy food has more fat and protein in the food due to the higher energy. When you are feeding an "all stage" food the feeding guides adjust for a puppy, adult to senior due to activity level.

You did mention that your vet had made a recommendation to feed puppy food. Any decision you make regarding what to feed your pet should be made after consultation with your vet.

Thank you and good luck with your puppy!
