Hello,
I have a 6 month old lab mix that I rescued from a shelter. This is my first time owning a dog, and at the shelter she was being given Purina Puppy chow. Now, I knew enough to recognize that this was cr*p, and the vet told us to use Eukanuba. This is what we have been feeding. I recently noticed that she is really blowing her coat. Thinking that maybe this was stress from her recent spay/having to stay inside more, I did some research and found that it could be that Eukanuba is a lower quality food. This was suprising, since the difference in price between Eukanuba and Puppy chow is so significant!
What would you say is the best food for a puppy? She was 38lbs at 5.5 months, if this helps.
Also, information about prices would be useful as well.
(I did a search on this board but couldn't find conclusive results.)
Thanks,
Elektrasmom
