I agree with Wylie's Mom. All the food mentioned is considered good food.
My question to you is have you discussed with your breeder what your puppy's estimated weight will be at maturity? 5 pounds at 5 months seems pretty heavy. In most cases if you're feeding the recommended serving printed on the bag you'll have an overweight dog. You should be able to feel the ribs but not see them.
