Performance notes
Puppy formulas typically run higher in protein and calories than adult maintenance foods to support rapid growth, and this recipe's emphasis on bone, brain, and muscle development lines up with that. Because it's an all-breed formula rather than a large or small breed specific one, owners of giant breed puppies in particular may want to ask their vet whether a breed-size-specific growth formula would better manage growth rate.
What buyers say
With 11,587 reviews averaging 4.7 stars and about 5,000 bought in the past month, this puppy formula shows strong, sustained demand and consistent satisfaction among a large base of owners.
It's labeled for all breed sizes rather than one specific size class. Large breed puppies have particular growth rate needs, so it's worth asking your vet whether a large breed specific puppy formula makes more sense.
What age should my puppy switch off this formula?
Puppy formulas are typically fed until a dog reaches adult size, which varies by breed, generally around 12 months for smaller breeds and later for large breeds. Your vet can help you time the switch to an adult formula.
Does this formula help with a sensitive stomach?
Sensitive stomach is listed among the formula's specific uses, but every puppy's digestion is different. If your puppy has ongoing digestive issues, talk to your vet before assuming any food will resolve it.
