The ingredients in the foods are almost all of the same...chicken, turkey, lamb,etc...
It seems that Naturapet has also jumped on the Large Breed Food bandwagon.  The Large Breed Puppy is low in calories, and I would think alot more food will have to be fed to a growing puppy....mmmmmm ....more food??? more bags of dogfood sold. GRRRR.

When I emailed the Innova company about the Large Breed Puppy food, they said that I can stay on the Large Breed til he is 2 or I can go to the Adult food. I have had him on just the plain puppy since he was 10 weeks old til he was a year and then put him on the Large breed. 3 cups in the morning and 3 cups at night is his limit. He normally will not eat anymore than that. He is 13 months old and at 100 lbs. Feels more than that when he steps on your bare feet!
So you can see why so many of us are so confused about the food. I have been on Innova for many years and I love their food.
Let me ask this. What are the signs that your puppy is growning too fast? I haven't raised a large breed puppy before. Is it when they start limping? Haven't had any problems with Khori.
