Ok, this is my first puppy on my own, i adopted him, and i havent even brought him home yet, as he's still at the vet, getting neutered. I want to do everything right, its like being a new parent, so i've reserched training, and house breaking, but after trying to find a resonable sourse of information, with no luck, i turned to this forum. I want to feed my puppy whats best. He's a choclate brown labrador retriever. if that helps. any suggestions?

My personal choice would be Nutro Natural Choice puppy food. Or in your case, you would want to get the large breed puppy food.

im not sure.. one of them might hold a higher content of "filling foods" than the other.. meaning the dogs can eat and eat and eat and never get truely full and want to constantly chew on everything because it is always hungry... i dont know for sure, so dont quote me.

Our dogs love Iams. They're all extremely healthy and happy on it.

The cheap dog foods (no matter if they're really cheap or higher end cheap) contain a lot of fillers and horse meat and by-products.

I've heard only good things about Nutro. We're actually switching our dogs over to it now.
