Just got a Rott pup! ~9weeks old

[enklined]

Hi all,

My girlfriend and I just bought our beautiful puppy for our new house! She is about 9 weeks old and her name in Mina.

So, please, pour on the recommendations! Right now I'm feeding her "By Nature" for puppies, as its all natural and organic, and meets the 30% protein number I've seen thrown around.

Does anyone else use this food? What are some other recommended brands/foods that i can look into?

I'm a strong believer of natural/organic foods as I believe a lot of the problems people have with their pets (cancers/etc) are from the crappy quality foods.

Anyway, please give me any info that you think may help me.

Thanks!

I haven't used By Nature, but some other brands to look into are Innova, Wellness, Canidae, Eagle Pack, California Natural, etc. If you subscribe to Whole Dog Journal they pretty much devoted February's issue to what they consider the top dry dog foods. Alternatively, do a search of the forums and you'll come up with more threads than you'll probably want as to which foods are the good ones vs. the bad ones.

Also look into the RAW diet , some interesting stuff there also.

I switched Cash to that food yesterday, he is 9 months old, my breeder suggested I feed him a high protein puppy food, I was feeding canadae and it just wasnt sticking to him he wasnt gaining weight like he should

Congrats on the puppy.. have fun with her, Cash has been my so called miracle puppy lol he is the best dog I have ever had, his personality is amazing as is his temperment..
