First, Hi and welcome. Congrats on the new pup!

I fed Iams Puppy formula for a while. We started her on Wellness, but it quickly became clear to us that it was too rich for her as a little pup. Then we switched to Iams, based on the assumption that since we got a sample from the vet it would be great food. Nope. She was OK on Iams but not great - it's a very grain-heavy, and therefore low-quality, kibble. You might also want to think about how long you have him on any puppy formula, no matter which brand. There was recently a discussion here about that...let me see if I can find the thread.

Anyway, based on lots of recommendations from folks here on DT, we then switched to Purina Pro Plan Selects. First the Salmon & Rice formula and then (after a mix-up at the pet supply store where momma picked up the wrong bag by mistake) switched to the Turkey & Barley formula. Tess likes it and has done really well on it.

However, I'm now considering a switch to The Honest Kitchen, a dehydrated raw diet. I like the idea of feeding raw, but I can barely plan a meal for myself and hubby...let alone think ahead for a weeks worth of meal planning for the dog.


ETA: Here's one of the recent discussions of puppy food: http://www.dobermantalk.com/puppy-corner/28678-too-much-protein.html. There are several others. Just do a search for "puppy food" and you'll get a bunch of threads.

I just found a new food called TLC and it's delivered to my door, can't go wrong there, so far I am very happy with the food and the results! I also feed them free range lamb that I get from a friend who's a sheep rancher and they get veggies and stuff when I am cooking. Sunday is usually raw bone day for their teeth.
