| Seems like most Vets suggest Science Diet but if you puppy / dog is healthy i would go with something better. My puppy was on pedigree from the breeder and now his eating Fromm Puppy Gold and seems to really like it. |

| Fromm is one of the few company's that uses USA ingredients only and their dog food is made at their own facility, no outsourcing. To me that means a lot because these other popular brands outsource and often switch manufacturing facilities and / or companies. |

| Yes, I feed Hill's Science Diet - Ideal Balance - and the pups who are on it are healthy and thriving! There is nothing wrong with this food in spite of the armchair "nutritionists" who preach against it.

There are many, many doggies here who do wonderfully on SD!!! LadyJane can certainly attest to this as she is in rescue and has fed wayyyy more dogs than most of us ever will feed in our entire lives .

| And he eats really good. I do have to give him a few from my hand and then he finishes the rest in the bowl. The only i don't like about Fromm Puppy Gold is its little high on carbohydrates of am I wrong? What is a good protein and carbohydrate percentage for our puppies? |

Your percentages, it's really subjective in that different people have different opinions. I think, all agree it's the quality or absorbability of the nutrients that matters just as much or greater than the percentages. Look for that AAFCO approval somewhere in small print on the bag. I just looked for and found it on my Wellness bags, it was really small print on the back of the bag though. LOL You could compare those percentages with other high quality brands of puppy food....... I currently don't use Fromm but I enjoyed calling them, their nutritionist, and asking them questions. I highly encourage you to give them a call. I only recall positive things about Fromm except for some dogs didn't care for it or some of their formulas may be too "rich"(for lack of a better term) for some special needs dogs such as our old guy. There's some easy to read info here: Best Puppy Foods | |

| With all the dog foods on the market, and trying to make the best possible decision one can, curious if anyone has tried Wendy Volhard Natural Diet, dehydrated food. The recipe was developed in 1972 and clinically tested for over 30 years. About Us |
