What is the best brand name food for my puppy?
I’m getting a Siberian husky puppy next week and he’ll be six weeks old. What is the best food and the best treat that I can get him from petco, petsmart or pet supplies plus? Thanks 
I have researched this in depth since my poor dog died of kidney failure due to poor quality dog food!! (this is the only reason I answer these questions … to try and save a dogs life or at least to not let him/her suffer because of bad food)
Fromm Dog Food is Great for dogs and cats …http://www.frommfamily.com/ $42- $45 per 30 lb bag
NO fillers….some good quality grains….NO corn….gluten or by-products or wheatNO BHT, BHA OR ETHOXYQUINNO artificial colors or flavors!!!
ALL human grade food….fruits…veggies and probiotics!! WHOLE fruits and veggies!!!! Just like the kind we get at our grocery stores!MEATS ARE DEBONED BY HAND!!!! NOT BY A MACHINE
check it out you wont regret it ! FROMM 4 STAR product line is the best!!!!!!! FROMM is a 100% holistic dog food. FROMM also has a grain-free option called surf & turf
All meats,fish,fruits and veggies are from local vendors delivered as needed.to maintain freshness
TOTWhttp://www.tasteofthewildpetfood.com/ … has a high protein content (not recommeded for non athletic dogs) Some TOTW choices have lesser amounts of protein.
Taste of the Wild contains Ethoxyquin which is a toxic fish preservative. (TOTW says that the cooking process kills all of it but it scared me away from their product)
around $42 for a 30 lb bag …. its the cheapest 6 star food ..
Remember : You get what you pay for. Keep in mind the top quality foods cost more but you feed less because there are no fillers or
unwanted ingredients. So in the long run you will be saving money with food and vet bills because your dog/cat will be healthier.

Orijen and Welness are great but it is $60 – $80 for a 30 lb bag… high protein as well ..not good for non athletic dogs Orijen is WAY to high in protein for a non working/non-agility dog ..
Fromm Is what my puppy gets it has a lower protein % and great ingredients! 5 outta 6 stars due to lower protein (but most dogs should not have high protein levels …. It makes their kidneys work overtime for no reason)
You can get it online and if you go to the website you can find stores near you .. they wont be at walmarts and the like… they are in feed stores .. Agway..tractor supply stores etc
IF your dog is not going to be a hard working/agility dog all this high protein can do more harm than good in the long run,,, you wont notice it now but it can take its toll on a dogs kidneys as it ages.

there is also a brand called 4health at the tractor supply store.. it is only $30 for a 35 lb bag.. and it seems to be of good quality. (not as good as the foods mentioned above but it good for the price if you are on a tight budget.)
It is very close in ingredients to the more expensive brandsCheck out the ingredients for yourself… no corn, wheat or soy.A Very good choice if you cant afford Fromm, Wellness, BB, TOTW, etc…etc.
also if you go to http://www.tractorsupply.com you can get a printable $5 off coupon!!
(they have Blue Buffalo, TOTW and 4Health)
GOOD LUCK TO YOU AND YOUR FURRY FRIENDS!!!

My vet recommended Science Diet for my puppy. He seems to like it TONS more than the pedigree and well known brands. Try that, if you would like something that is VERY good, try Black Gold. It’s one of the best dog foods out there because of how natural it is.

Most dry dog foods are pure crap. Canidae, Taste of the Wild, Royal Canin and Blue Buffalo are some foods the are pretty good. I feed taste of the wild. I do not feed puppy food to my puppies. They tend to be excessively high in protein and in large boned puppies (of which I’d consider yours) it can cause panosteitis a painful bone problem. I’ve always fed my large boned puppies either regular food for adults or even the senior version which is usually lower in protein. I can e-mail you a list of dog foods and their grades if you like.
Bil Jac and Science Diet are among the lowest rated dog foods on the market.
