Farmina Ancestral Grain Question

[Mearntain]

I made the switch to Farmina Ancestral grain for my pup on my last bag of feed - medium kibble and it said puppy on the bag. Everywhere was out of stock when I needed more and could only get it on amazon, and just realized there are no feeding instructions on the bag for puppies - Its the same flavor of Farmina Ancestral Grain but instead of medium kibble, its medium-maxi and it also says adult.

Is this still the exact same feed just designed for "adults" because of the maxi mixed in? Or different protein/vitamin ratios? Just want to make sure feeding it to my almost 7 month old wont lead to any deficicienies. Thanks.

It's fine for a Dobe pup over 6 mo.

I want to say the puppy bag has instructions all the way out to 16 months on there. Would there be any benefit to switching back to old bag next?

Here's a comparison of the 2 labels. Top is the puppy and bottom is the adult feed. They seem pretty close, but adult is lower.

The 5% less protein is better for a growing Doberman pup. That's why All Life Stages and/or Adult is usually recommended.

Sounds good, thanks for the input- I didnt know about that so I will stick with the adult feed then. Would you reccomend using the adult feeding schedule? It's a bit less than the puppy schedule per her weight and age on the old bag.

I never go by the chart on the bag. 4 cups a day.... if they leave food in the bowl or look chunky, back it down a bit.
Break it up.... either 2 cups twice a day or 1 1/2c morning, 1c afternoon, 1 1/2c evening.

Perfect, that's pretty much what I feed her anyways. I do about 3.75 cups per day, half in the morning and half at night. I think the bag said closer to 3 cups on the adult bag which is why I was wondering.
