Puppy food suggestions?

VonVix

Normally I have no problem with searching for a new food... but I'm clueless about puppy food!

I'm thinking I should switch from what my boy is currently on, he's a 7 month old German Shepherd and he's currently on Bosch Junior Maxi, I have noticed a bit of itchiness from him when I switched him back onto this food. My budget is €40 and under for a 15kg bag if possible.

That's also my budget for a 15kg bag and we settled on Markus Meule naturnah - from zooplus online. We buy two at a time with the discount as well. Works out around 70 for 2 bags.

We also feed raw (in the evening meal) so the MM kibble lasts a looong time.

Great food for our needs. Have Jack (the younger of our two Huskies) on it since about 4/5 months.

They have NEVER refused a meal. EVER

That's the food I was looking at! The only thing that is stopping me is that it's not for puppies.

I would not be inclined to let this worry me even the slightest It's all just a bit of a scam, this puppy food thing. Kinda reminds me of the marketing genius of RC coming up with breed specific foods....
Ooh! I own a Boxer/Yorkie/Westie/whatever... If I don't buy the breed food for my breed, I'd be somehow letting him down
Pure genius!

You won't go wrong with decent quality adult food, supplemented when you can with sardines, eggs, meat etc.

Awesome, that helps tremendously!

Jack has been on it since a puppy. Younger than yours is now! Very soft breakable pieces. As DBB says, easy to supplement with sardines or egg or plain yoghurt or my zooplus favourite - salmon oil.

Here he is after about 6 weeks on it (bout 7 months old)

My puppies all get adult food at around 5 mths old. I find they grow slower but end up with nicer confirmation. I add oily fish & raw chicken wings/legs to it, vitamin C is also added. The adults get the same.
