I'm not sure what the AAFCO guidelines are on this but all life stages foods go through feeding trials. Pups must have done well on it to pass, so theoretically it is fine, however, in my opinion, growing pups need more fat and protein.

Now if I had a choice between that and Purina, I feed that but I think there are better foods for this.

Ellie is on 18% fat (and this is considered low). She needs low fat because of her pancreas issue and her vet wasn't too happy with the thought of taking the fat down further. Ellie's metabolism is fast. She is 7.
Would you have any suggestions on a different high quality food that I could give her?

I think I'm going to do a little more research on some different brands.
But I'll gladly take any suggestions. Maybe something with fish since she seems to gobble this food down. When she was on wellness she would pick here and there. I'd put the food down for her when I woke up around 7 and she wouldn't touch it till 12!
