honestly if your feeding a GOOD food you dont NEED a puppy food...
I fee all my pppies the exact same thing i feed my adults...

the best NATURAL food would be raw...since hes going to be a little guy it woudlnt be all that expensive to feed "pre made" raw which is a REALY easy way of doing a raw iet and can pe picked up in most pet food stores (petsmart/petco ect...)

otherise look at the bag.
find a food that has NO corn, Soy or Wheat, NO BYPRODUCTS. the first ingreient should be meat or meat meal...

Wellness core is a GREAT line
Solid Gold is another
Blue Buffalo
Taste of the Wild
California Naturals is another...

theres so many great brands that its hard to realy narrow it down to 1...
so just read the ingredients, remember hes a carnivore and needs MEAT as his primary form of protein, and that dogs cant digest corn...and that soy an wheet are comon allergens.

Ingredients like "chicken byproduct" adnd corn are the equivalent of feeing your dog McDonalds for every meal...while many ogs live happily on "junk food" (just like people) its not GOOD for him.

I feed my three:

Stella & Chewy's Chicken or Rabbit (dehydrated, raw)

Nutrisca is good, I may go back to that with a bit of the S&C on top

Embark is good. Honest Kitchen. Sojo's. Gramma Lucy. Ziwi Peak. Acana. Orijon.

I have used them all. Feel comfortable going back with any variety. I do have a pood/mix that cannot handle frozen raw. Even though I warm it just a bit *put in baggie into warm water) - I would never feed her COLD food, it just comes up later. Not good.

I like the dehydrated and GRAIN FREE. I watch where it is made, too. The ingredients. Most of the companies I trust don't pay millions of dollars to advertise to try to convince me. I don't believe the hype.
