Hey there,
Im fairly new here and just wanted to see if anyone would give me some kind words of advice/opinions on the food I give my 5 (nearly 6) month old puppy?
He has a lovely shiny coat, is a good weight and is growing steadily, so I have no cause for alarm, but I have been reading lots of information and I would just like to see if there’s anything I could do better.
I currently feed ProPlan Large breed puppy Athletic (ProPlan Large Breed Athletic Puppy Food with Lamb and Rice 3kg | Pets at Home) which I researched and spoke to my puppy socialization teacher about, and it seems to have good ingredients and get good reviews. Sometimes I mix this food with a small amount of Arden Grange Salmon & potato (Natural Premium Dog Food from Arden Grange) in with it, as its a lot cheaper, but its barely noticeable as I keep all the food in a large sealed bin, so it’s a very small proportion.
In addition to this, I add a couple of spoonfuls of canned tuna aprox once/twice a week, add finely chopped frozen vegetables and sometimes a raw egg or a tablespoon full of extra virgin olive oil.
For treats I give chopped frankfurter sausage, and he gets frozen carrots for his teething.
Would love your opinion/advice, as I know the vets/pet shops are very biased as to what they want people to buy!
