Puppy food?

Question

Hi! I feed my 6 month old Labrador Retriever puppy Purina One Large Breed Puppy Formula. I just want to know if this food is good. I do not want your opinions on what food is better or worse or what foods I should be feeding my puppy. My puppy is at an ideal weight and is healthy so I was just making sure?

My puppy is a female. : )
(I know that has nothing to do with it)

Answer 1

I think that Purina food is wonderful. If the dog is ideal weight and is healthy then it must be great for your pet. I have a chihuahua and I was going to feed her Purina puppy chow. When I got her from the breeders they fed her Eukanuba Small breed petite race. I just kept her on that because she was used to it. I like it for her and she seams to like it too. If I would change it, it would be to a Purina product. I have always found Purina to be a very good product and my pets always appeared to like it. I believe if your puppy is healthy why change to something else because it may upset his stomach. Just remember that at one year it is recommened to switch to adult dog food. I was at the vet today and they told me that if you keep feeding a adult puupy food they will become over weight. I like how you said too that you didn't want opinions. These are Q & A not advice, opinions, or to tell someone they are wrong for everything. I had a question about international traveling with my pet. The only responce I got was that it wasn't a good idea. I diodn't ask if it was a good idea. I asked how to do it. People should read the question and answer it accordinally.

Answer 2

We've fed my 7 month old lab puppy that NutroMAX dry dog food for Puppies that will be 50 lbs and over formula... he's at an ideal weight, but he's gotten a little sicker then any of my other dogs ever have. My mom is being a pill and wont switch foods. Shes feeding our rescued dog science diet for sensitive stomach, if anything changes about his diet he gets mass diahrrea and gas =X Expensive isn't always better

Answer 3

If your puppy is eating the food and is healthy and at an ideal weight then I would keep feeding the food. You can always check with your puppy's veterinarian to make sure, though. I have always fed my dogs Purina and they loved it. Good luck and enjoy your puppy!

Answer 4

It's no better or worse than any other brand. It's important to feed a puppy under one year puppy food.

Answer 5

No, the food is not good, nor is anything made by Purina. They use far too many grains, including Ground Yellow Corn, ground rice, and brewers rice. They rarely use a whole meat product, which is protein which your puppy needs, and instead use the fillers I mentioned above.
Purina relies on cutesy ads to sell their products, and if you read the bags on Purina ONE and compare it to all of their other purina brands, you will see basically the same ingredients.
Plus, "large breed" is just another gimick. It provides nothing more for your Labrador, except a fancy name.
Again, read the ingredients please!!!!!!!!!!!
