There is no need for anything "large breed".
Molly is 34 lbs and 5 months old. Should I be putting her on a large beed puppy food? I was considering Fromm
Guess I should have posted in puppy but I cant delete

If the food works, don't change it.

There is no need for large breed food. For the most part is a marketing gimmick just like "senior" foods
If your current food is working leave it alone, the food roller coaster is a ride that you don't want to be on
If she's doing well on whatever she's eating, there's no need to switch. If I'm correct, you're not certain what or whether she's mixed with some other breed. Labs are not considered a large breed, so don't do it for her labby self.
My only concern is her stool is not very solid.
OK, then that's a different situation and could be a valid reason to try something else. What's she eating now and how much is she getting each day, including treats? Some pups can have soft stool from getting a little more than they need. She's had her stool checked for parasites, worms, and all that?

I agree with smartrock. There are several things that can cause loose stool, it's not necessarily the food. From day 1 Bruce has had an issue with loose stool if he's getting to much to eat. I had a heck of a time regulating it as he grew. I'd feed what was recommended on the bag based on his age, and then have to adjust the amount based on his stools.

I have not gone back to the vet as of yet.I use Kirkland brand puppy food the research i did said it was above average food but then again I know nothing. She gets 2 - 3 cups a day and that includes all her training treats as I use her kibble. I guess first thing would be to go for a vet check.
I would try decreasing the amount fed and see if that helps.
