Pure Balance Pro+ Chicken and Brown Rice Large Breed Puppy Food, 16 lbs

I did a lot of research when I was purchasing puppy food due to buying a puppy that had been neglected due to her front to pause getting bound by the umbilical cord during the last two weeks in utero. she has severe scarring around both paws and had it been any longer she probably would have lost most of her toes. it took a while for the fur to grow on the lower end of her front paws and one toe is half it's regular size. when I went to look at her to purchase the pup she was 10 weeks old and half the size of a regular 10 week old German Shepherd puppy. she only weighed 8 lbs and ate her own feces when I first brought her home probably due to getting pushed away from her hungry siblings and the owners not stepping up. I googled the most healthy puppy food for a large breed dog and this brand popped up, but the large breed formula however Walmart was out of that so I bought this one, standard puppy food. there's nothing standard about this food though! the first ingredient is real chicken, no by-product, and rice which is a good solid grain that helps digestion. all of the ingredients in this brand of puppy food where exactly what AI Google recommended at half the price of the wild brand and other approved brands such as pedigree. I've had her for one month and she has doubled her size and weight weighing 16 lb now, but not being overweight with a big belly. it's all growth and accurate weight for size and age. I've since purchased this same brand just for large dog breeds puppy food. the price point is excellent! you can't get a better puppy food in my opinion. I'll upload pictures of my pup from one month ago when I purchased her and from today. when I purchased her her paws, not only guard and a bit deformed although she has no disability, we're very small and I wondered if she would end up being a small German Shepherd, but I knew that her growth spurt was just beginning and, with solid ingredients a growing puppy needs, she may well end up growing like a weed LOL that she is doing! her paws are very large now and she is the size she should be at 14 weeks old. I can't recommend this puppy food enough. I am going to continue to feed her the large breed formulation until she's about 10 months old then I will transfer her over to a large dog dog food from this same company. I haven't ever seen a dog grow so quickly in such a short period of time! now, if you're puppies genetics don't allow for a large adult this food isn't going to magically make your pup grow bigger. however, my puppies parents were both large in size and she's only growing to her full potential because I'm eating her with a very healthy diet. I am so glad I found this brand!

i absolutely love the whole line... Ive used other high end brands and this brand has had the least digestive issues and most value for the quality ingredients that show in my dogs hair and skin as a whole with very little additions needed compared when I given other high profile brands a chance... currently I have all 3 of my dogs on the large breed puppy line with their upped needs for the snowy winter fun they all love... this is my preference for what works for my pack. i have (1) 10 year old Daschund and (2) 2 year old female labs... i highly recommend giving this line a chance... the quality and options are great and walmart delivery or shipping is an added plus.
