After doing a bunch of researching on websites regarding protein, calicum, phosphorus, and listening to people's and vets feedback, and opinions.* I have decided to narrow it down to these 3 dog foods and was wondering what we're your expierences, if you have any when feeding these dog foods, overall good? Why bad? Or simply which one would you choose or prefer and why?

I know you were favorable of adult puppy food for growth reasons, I researched these brands and they stated they weren't meant for growing slow. Do you still recommend adult or one of these are ok?

Hi there, you may miss out on good advice with two threads. I am not an expert on this, but others here are. Personally, no puppy food of any brand seems necessary or best for long term health. Growing slower is good for their final form and health. Chicken (poultry, actually) and grains are frequent pup allergies. But you will need to find what works best for your fur baby.

"1st two ingredients brewers rice, chicken by product meal"

That knocks that one off my list.
* Rice is first?? FILLER = BIG POOPS with no benfits.
* "by product meal" is all the sludge they can scrape of the bottom of the barrel after processing...

Most vet recommendations for food carry ZERO weight with me. They are well educated on medications and fixing problems, not preventing issues with nutrition...
