Some food labeled as "puppy" are all life stages, too. I feed Innova Puppy but it is technically an ALS formula. You just have to read the bag and it will tell you the AAFCO rating. Usually puppy formulas have more protein and fat in them. I have two pups - one is 10 months and one is 13 weeks. I chose Innova puppy because when Nick turns a year, I didn't want to have to start feeding them separate. Yorkies don't usually over-eat, especially on kibble. So, if you can find a puppy formula that is also an ALS formula, that would be best. I checked Wellness puppy formula and it is not ALS - only approved for growth which means just for puppies.
A lot of people order their dog food online and some companies will send out samples. When I was earching for the perfect food I got samples via mail from Natural Balance, Solid Gold and Wellness. Natural Balance and Solid Gold both have all life stages formulas. You could email them for samples to see if you like them. Then, if you do, you could buy online.
Innova and Canidae offer samples, too but I got them from a local feed store. It couldn't hurt to ask them for samples, too though.
Good luck! |
