I'm sure you will get some answers, but there are LOTS of threads here already about the various foods and puppy vs. adult. I know that with the Canidae, a lot of people feed the Canidae ALS (all life stages) to youngsters as well as adults. Many have reported that Canidae is the best priced of many of the premium foods.

The other thing to remember about the premium foods is that you will be able to use less of it for the same number of calories and MUCH better nutrition, so the cost is not what it appears to be at first blush.
