Yes...there is Diamond Naturals Lamb and Rice Large Breed puppy. I fed that at first since that's what Dune was getting in rescue. However, he began to have the itchies, so we slowly switched to Eagle Pack Holistic Select Large Breed Puppy. You'll just have to see what works best for your pup.

Your puppy will most likely go through some stress, so you may want to make your transition process a very slow one, or just continue to feed what the breeder is feeding to alleviate some of the puppy stress and belly upset. Dune was very sensitive, and it took about 6 weeks to get nice firm stool...and he was a 7 month old.

There lots of good information here about food though, so do some searches. Good luck.
