Other Fromm and Puppy food

[jdeveaux]

So we started Jupiter on Fromm's Heartland Gold Puppy 'Large Breed' but then I went on Pet Flow and inadvertently ordered the Heartland Gold Puppy 'standard'

What I want to get you opinion(s) on: Should I be OK with feeding the standard Puppy food with maybe a small change to the amount of food?

The ingredients are the same just mixed in different proportions with a slightly different balance of ingredients.

I am no expert on this topic... I tagged two members that give some insight. I fed Fromm puppy... not large breed to Lambeau and he is a good size boy now at 15 months

Jupiter is 10 1/2 weeks and already hit 12.8 lbs last night! She's basically doubled in size since we brought her home

I think Lambeau came home at 10 weeks and was about that weight... I'll have to check his records when I get home tonight

You can feed the standard and it's OK, in fact, I would stay with it. Feed the same amount. I believe in feeding pups plenty when they are growing. We feed ours that age three times a day. When they get around months old we go to twice a day. We feed our pups FROMM Puppy Gold in the pink bag. Next time I may try the Heartland standard.

I agree with David, the ingredients are so very close there is no reason to waste good food.

If you are not giving NuVet plus I would recommend adding that to their daily regimen too, I use it as treats.

Fromm food is good flavor for bullies? Y looking for best flavor for maximus ( 8 months old) he doesn't want to eat, I feed with blue buffalo wilderness.

Many here feed Fromm grain free line as it works well and you can easily switch flavors without transition time

Now I need put some threats in his food, what flavor recommend?

Try Beef Frittata or Pork and Peas

Beef fritata is not for puppy, can I feed my puppy with that?

 

[2BullyMama]

You can use pink bag of puppy... Then at 8 mths switch to adult

how much are you feeding your puppy right now? I have a 4 months old and i'm feeding gold puppy. The recommendation from Fromm's guideline is only 1 1/3 to 2 3/4 cup daily. I think it is too little for the puppy
