Best dog food for new puppy

Hi,

I'm getting a new puppy at the weekend, any suggestions on the best food to feed (Dobermann)?

Hi Boris, congrats on the new puppy - I bet you can't wait... Dobermann puppies are SO cute (we had a Dobe when I was growing up - love the breed!).

With regards to food, has your breeder recommended anything in particular? A good breeder will normally give you a few days worth of food, as well as a puppy sheet that includes info about diet etc

Once you have your puppy settled you will want to think about food that you feel is the best choice. As a start, check out this Quick Start Guide: http://www.dogsey.com/dog-food.htm and if you have any questions let us know.

The general consensus though, is that feeding a species-appropriate diet is important... but that can sometimes work out expensive (tho, could save you money in the long-term, re vet's bills etc). Have browse through this section and the Raw feeding section - there are some interesting threads around that might help you make your decision

Your breeder should supply a diet sheet in with the puppy pack & also a supply of the food your puppy is being currently fed on to last at least 10 - 14 days
