The Earthborn Puppy Vantage, formerly grain inclusive and was working well, is now grain free only - ugh! I'd love to feed Farmina, but it's out of my budget, especially considering the amount Lido is eating right now (he's 6 months old). I may consider it in the future, when the amount fed lessens greatly. I prefer to feed a large breed puppy kibble, rather than an adult kibble, until he's around 15 months old.
I found Wellness Large Breed Puppy (grain inclusive), but it gets very mixed reviews - either great or terrible (bad reviews report diarrhea and bad gas), so I'm going to pass on this one.
I then found Nutrisource Chicken and Rice Large Breed Puppy that gets mostly good reviews and doesn't contain corn, wheat, or soy. Does anyone feed this?
