TIPS ON FEEDING YOUR PUPPY...

Consider Your Dog's Age

For puppies (less than 6 months and less than 30 pounds): Feed your puppy a consistent canned, semi-moist or dry dog food designed for puppies. If your dog weighs more than 30 pounds, dry food is preferred for greater calorie density.

For adult dogs (6 months to 6 years): Feed your dog a consistent canned, semi-moist or dry dog food designed for an "adult" dog.

For senior dogs (over 6 years): Feed your dog a consistent canned, semi-moist, or dry dog food designed for a "senior" dog

The drastic growth stages are between 8 weeks and 6 months of your puppies life, this is a fragile developmental stage and puppies are prone to growth diseases such as HOD (Hypertrophic Osteodystrophy) and OCD (Osteochronditis Dessicans).
This means the large breeds generally do better in their growth and development when fed an Adult Formula dog food , because they are moderate in their calories/protein/fat. However, not all Adult formulas are acceptable, because they do not have enough nutrition, vitamins, minerals and amino acids present for proper growth.

We use and recommend feeding large breed puppies the Eagle Pack Formulas due to it's "optimum" level of nutrients, usable proteins,fats,carbs, and moderate calories. The nutritional content of the food has appropriate levels of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids to support growth.
