Dry food recommendations please
Choose a good quality food with a named protein source. Avoid meat meals and by products. Stay away from store or discount brands. These typically contain low quality ingredients an dmore fillers. A "large breed" formula would be recommended. Premium brands include the Royal Canin line, Acana, Canidae and Orijen. The website www.dogfoodadvisor.com is an excellent resource for comparing foods.

I would say Joey is a large breed dog based on his mix of breeds. I recommend feeing him a high quality large breed dog food. These foods will have joint support, which is great for bigger dogs. Brands I recommend include Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, Purina ProPlan, and Iams. I hope this helps!

Should or when can I switch dodge who just hit 60 plus pounds at 6mos old from performatrin ultra grain free large breed to lifetime large breed
Lifetime large breed dog food is formulated for all life stages, including puppies. Since he is already 60 pounds, you can begin to transition him to this diet at any time. Please switch diets gradually by mixing the old and new diets together for 5-7 days to ease the transition.

What is the best, budget friendly food i can feed my 7 month old Golden retriever? Right now he's eating Wholehearted puppy food, but it's pretty pricey. Is it ok to change brands?
Thank you for submitting your question regarding Charlie. First, it is fine to switch dog food brands, but you will need to transition slowly. You should mix the foods and gradually change the proportions of old and new. This will help to prevent any vomiting or diarrhea from the the change. Next, he should eat a large breed puppy food to best meet his nutritional needs. Personally, I use Purina, Hill's, Royal Canin or Iams. These are large companies with veterinarians on staff to research and formulate their diets. They also tend to offer of a variety of products to fit different budgets. I hope this information helps!

So is it more important for large breed puppies to have a food with calcium under 1.3% or for the calcium and phosphorus ratio to be as close to 1.2:1 as possible?
Yes. The goal for large breed puppies is a calcium under 1.5% AND a calcium to phosphorous ratio of about 1:1 (some say up to 1:3). As of this year, dog foods will be required to state whether they have met these rules in their AAFCO statement (see link below). In general, most of the reputable pet food brands who label their food as a "large breed puppy food" are following these rules. http://vetnutrition.tufts.edu/2017/02/confused-about-what-to-feed-your-large-breed-puppy-new-rules-may-help/ Hope this helps and best of luck to your big boy Louie!
