I want to give them some knowledgeable responses if this guy chooses to go against this vets advice. Thanks As a general rule I do not feed puppy food at all.... I feed a good diet and do not believe in the high protein foods, as a rule. However, the food is not going to make the pup larger than he was supposed to be in the first place, the problem is, he might get there too fast... Causing some problems like softer pasterns, more trouble getting ears up.... Just my opinion but it seems to work.
