We have 5 dogs. We were feeding our adult dogs Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover's Soul. When we got our puppy, she stopped eating her puppy food and would only eat what the other dogs were eating. We tried some samples of other puppy foods and even tried a different adult food but the pup still ate the adult dog food and left her puppy food. A friend that is very knowledgeable about dog food suggested an all life stages food and recommended either Innova (regular adult) or Nature's Variety Prairie formulas. Both are appropriate for all life stages and are appropriate for puppies. She told me that Instinct and EVO are not appropriate for young puppies. I ended up getting Nature's Variety Prairie chicken and brown rice formula and all the dogs love it and are doing great on it.
