Being an "all life stages" food is fine, the only main thing puppies need more of than adult dogs is extra protien. The NB could maybe use some added protien to it for a puppy, from either canned food or chicken breast etc., but other than that I don't think there's anything "wrong" with it. You don't need a "puppy" formula if the food is desigened for "all life stages". Idk, I've looked at the ingredients and guaranteed analysis and it seems fine, especially for a sensative tummy dog. I do think some of the other foods are a little bit better, but it would be ok to use for a puppy, I'd just choose the formula with the most protien and meat as the first ingredient (not sweet potatoes, although for an allergy dog or something, that's fine).
