Nico, my adorable puppy has been the constant joy of my life. As a growing pup, it is essential that Nico eats the best food for his growing body. I tried out a few brands and change up his food every other month so his tummy doesn’t get too sensitive. My dog trainer also mentioned that it’s a good way to avoid being too dependent on a particular food and then all of a sudden have the food get discontinued. Let’s get on with the list shall we?
Top 5 List
- Earthborn Holistic Puppy Vantage: Nico loves this food and was his current chow until Amazon ran out. Coat is super shiny, dry skin gone, and poop is firm (gross I know).
- Taste of the Wild Puppy Formula: Nico loves him some Taste of the Wild—all of them. Salmon flavor gives him fishy breath.
- Eagle Pack Large and Giant Breed Puppy Formula: Best bang for your buck at $40/30lbs bag. He doesn’t like this food as much now that he’s a bit older, but between 3-6 months old, he couldn’t get enough.
- Wellness Large Breed Puppy Formula: I bought it once and he chowed it down with no complaints. Little pricey for my pocket though.
- Nutro Large Breed Puppy Formula: He wasn’t as enthusiastic with eating this one but he still finished his bow. I just felt that the qualities of the ingredients are a little lower on the scale.
Bottom 3 List
- Wellness Core: The more expensive food compare to the Wellness brand listed above but he hated it.
- Holistic Select Large Breed Puppy Formula: I had high hopes for this one. Nico would rather starve than eat this food.
- Blue Buffalo Life Protection Puppy: Everybody told me that Blue Buffalo was the best. Nico’s tummy and poop disagrees. There was also a recent lawsuit against the company. No Bueno.
That’s Nico’s list folks! Hope you got some insights on what to feed your growing puppy. Keep in mind that this was based on Nico’s preference and every dog is different. Happy feeding!
