Puppy food

[sske]

I'm picking up a rottweiler puppy next week, at the moment he's eating tractor supplys retriever brand puppy food. Can anyone on here give me any pointers on good puppy foods you've used in the past or currently use? I've used pedigree puppy and purina puppy chow in the past with good results, but I'm open to trying something new, I have no experience with the retriever brand he's eating now.
Thank you

Just my opinion but I like Purina puppy chow and I always sprinkle 1/4 cup of milk replacer over the top until they're a year old. And like calves, I prefer to hand feed them rather than free choice, but it's not as convenient for sure.

Thank you, have you done this specifically for rotts or just for puppies in general? And did you use the regular puppy chow or the large breed formula?

Never owned a Rottweiler. Have done it with labs, bulldogs, fox dogs, bird dogs, and hog dogs over the years. I remember the last Puppy Chow being in a blue bag but that's about it.

Thank you, has anyone here had any experience good or bad with the iams large breed puppy food?

I think the best thing you can do for your puppy is to feed it a variety of ingredients to ensure that it gets enough of everything it needs to stay healthy. Just giving a puppy an extra piece of chicken, oils , and some veggies in addition to the "adult food" will supply healthier nutrients then a puppy chow would offer.

when I met her I had a 52 inch chest and a 32 inch waist. I was a business guy then and spent a lot of time at a desk or in a car so I had to go to the gym to keep from being huge....
now I have a pirates chest.....
it has pretty much sunk....
she didn't really like other women noticing me..
so she fattened me up....cake pie and ice cream were standard fare as well as other inducements to keep me out of the gym...
I sure miss middle age....this old man crap is for the birds.
