Hi Sally,
I was told and have found the following to work…
Purina Large Breed Puppy Food
Natures Farmacy West’s Bone Builder – if necessary double the amount suggested.

The last puppy I had that was down in pasterns was a hard hitting male and I
put stall mats (tractor supply) in his kennel and made sure he played on dirt
or the lawn. I also use coolaroo dogs beds which may or may not have helped. He
sure liked them regardless.
I noticed a huge improvement within 2 weeks, and no issues after a month. I
kept him on bone builder until he was over 6 months old. He never went down
again.
I was not a believer about the dog food and switched puppies to a grain free
food one tiime and within a couple of days was not happy with the results…
couple days back on the Purina and all was well with the world.
The only other thing I feed puppies are Kirkland dog biscuits and green tripe.
That is only a small percentage of total food intake, but they do love their
stinky tripe.
Good luck!
