5 month old food question

[cyberdoberman]

Hi! This is my almost 6 month old puppy Cyber:

He's currently eating Purina Pro Plan's Large Breed Puppy Food Chicken & Rice. I was looking to switch him to Purina Pro Plan Sensitive Skin & Stomach (salmon) which is an adult food, not ALS. We do want to stick with the Pro Plan line for now. Any other suggestions within that line? Anyone have experience with having a doberman puppy on the sensitive skin & stomach adult? Thank you!

Very handsome! I would stay away from puppy food. It has too much protein, which causes the bones to grow too quickly and can cause knuckling. A good all life stages dog food is best. If you go to dogfoodadvisor.com you read up on all the different brands to find out which is best for your boy!

Welcome from Minnesota!

We haven't fed puppy food to any of our pups unless the breeder wanted us to start out with it. Our current pup started on ALS food recommended by the breeder and that's what he's been on since.

Cute pup!

Nice looking pup! Why are you wanting to feed PPP Sensitive? Is he having problems? If it's big soft poop, it probably has more to do with feeding kibble. Lots of filler and usually not meat for the highest protein source. All Life Stages is a good choice for Doberman puppies. As already recommended, go to Dogfoodadviser.com to look at brands and study how the ingredients matter. You don't have to spend a fortune, I have fed Diamond ALS chicken/rice along with raw meat toppers from puppy to adult & still feed it.
