I was just wondering if this will be suitable for a 9 week old pup. Is the kibble too big? Will the protein leave him hyperactive or growing very quickly? Is it best to wait until most of their growth is done, and then just put him on the adult orijen? (at say 9 months).
The other food I am considering is Burns mini bites. It is a high quality food in the UK, but has grain.
I had Millie on Arden Grange, and while she seemed to be fine on it, she didnt really like it. She really picked at it.
The breeder has him on Royal Canin puppy, and scrambled eggs, weetabix, but I want to wean him off it.
Thanks! |
i would definitly change him from what he is on- what an odd diet for a breeder to put a puppy on....
I think Orijen (puppy and adult) is a GREAT food and I'd feed it no problem. You should wait until he is 12 months until he is changed to adult food.
high protein will not make him hyper at all... or grow too fast- as long as he is on a puppy formula he will do great!
