    Advice on reasonable dog food
    I'm wanting advice on some good quality (reasonably priced) puppy food that offers good nutrition and vitamins. There are so many brands out there I'm not sure what to go with. Right now she is on Nature's Recipe Grain Free Easy to Digest (she is on this now due to recovering from parvo) Any and all advice is appreciated!

    I'm a fan of Purina Pro Plan puppy... It produces really nice, fat, healthy puppies. Its reasonable in price as well and easy to purchase.

    Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover's Soul: Puppy is a holistic brand and is a very good food.

    Taste of the Wild: Puppy is another holistic brand and is a good food for puppies. It's a bit more pricey than the other brands.. but any good food is going to cost you some money.

    The thing with puppies and foods, are feed them what they are going to eat. Once your dog reaches an year or year and a half, than consider changing to the holistic/organic foods. All commercial brand foods are going to be nutritionally balanced for growing puppies.

    The foods I would 100% stay away from would be anything Ol Roy, Beneful, Kibbles N Bits, Puppy chow, Pedigree and any other grocery brand food.

    I attached a site that you can look at. It has tons of different brands of foods that are scored and analyzed with no personal opinions. I really liked this site when I was searching for a good food to feed my dogs.

    Thank You so much! I thought about Pro Plan because I had seen it in petsmart I just wasn't sure about it! And she was on Pedigree before parvo just because that is what the Shelter had her on.. I just kept her on it for that time so I wouldn't tear up her stomach switching brands.. BUT I also want to stick with a brand and not have to switch her again.. Natures Recipe seems like a decent brand I'm just not sure! I just want what is best for her but affordable..

    Than stay with Nature's Recipe. It's a pretty decent food. :)

    But check out that website.. Maybe you'll find something even better

    Good luck in your search.. I think I researched food for a good 2-3 months before I settled on Innova.
