This is what we feed our Dogue de Bordeaux puppy which is expected to reach about 130 lbs + when full grown. She loves it! This is a great product.

It doesn't say "large breed" but I'd bet your puppy would be fine eating this. For detailed analysis, check out here (and you can see other brands too) http://www.dogfoodadvisor.com/dog-food-reviews/taste-of-the-wild-dog-food-dry/

Yes I have a Greater Swiss Mountain Dog, and this is what she is on. This was also highly recommended by several people to me, and the breeder I got my puppy from. This is what she gives her pups while they are with her until they go to their homes.

The protein content in this puppy food at 30% is higher than a large breed should get. Large breeds should have 24-27%. More than that can cause them to grow too quickly and have joint problems later in life. I use the TOW adult dog food and it works well for my adult large dogs. But I don't use TOW puppy.

My puppy is 16 weeks old and is Italian mastiff/pit bull mix and this is what I feed him exclusively. When he reaches 8 months I will switch him to the adult Taste of the Wild mix. He is doing extremely well on this mix and it is all natural. Great product.

A good dog food should support all life stages, from weaned pups to old age. Puppies and lactating females require more food per lb of body weight, not different food. Young canines in the wild need and eat the exact same food as their parents, just more of it. It is sometimes eaten first and regurgitated for them by the adults, which is simply a convenient means of carrying it back to the den. "Life Stage" pet foods is more marketing than science and I would never feed any dog a food too deficient to sustain growth in a puppy.

My experience is that Orijen is one of the best dog foods out there, regardless of dog size. But, like any new food, it has to be transitioned slowly. And, ask your vet about any new food. Hope this helps.

Every dog is a little different so it's hard to say. The difference between Purina dog food and Taste of the Wild is huge in assisting with digestion and nutrition. I also had my puppy on Purina and had similar issues with him until I made the swap. Now he's almost 2 years old and I feed him half puppy and half adult taste of the wild. So as far as whether to go puppy or adult food, use puppy if you need to keep weight on your dog and he burns a lot of calories. My guess would be that your pup still should get puppy food.

I bought the large and I have a labrador. It is ok but the last grain of food are difficult to eat for my dog because he has a big face, but I dont think it is going to be a problem for a Russian toy dog.

It is a perfectly fine dry dog food but I ended up having to give up the 'grain free high protein' type food after 4 months due to issues with GAS in my 2 dogs. My vet recommended I change food and now a month afterwardsthe gas is almost gone. My vet informed me my choc lab and black lab mix needed a little less protein and some grain would not hurt them at all. I really liked the premium edge and felt it would help manage weight issues.I highly recommend this food to you.

Sorry I cant answer as I put my kibbles in a big container and throw the original bag it came in away. All I know is my lab loves it and she lost weight. Her coat is shiny and healthy so I know it has the nutrients she needs. You could go to the web site and check all the nutritional values or even contact the company. Recommend this dog food!!

According to the breeder we got our puppy from, he prefers grain free food for puppies and adults. He breeds Labradors and Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrivers. We will be feeding our Toller grain free food even when he is an adult.

You can feed them the same food. The only real difference between puppy and dog food is the nutrition ratio for fat, protein, and calories. However BB is a great brand so you shouldn't even have to worry about all that.

You can look up the list of ingredients on the manufacturer's website: http://www.phycox.com/english/soft-chews.html. I wouldn't purchase a supplement without my vet's recommendation anyway. My vet did recommend this for my two large breed dogs and I only purchase this supplement on Amazon because it's $25 less than purchasing it from my vet.

It should be OK. Go to their website and compare ingredients. I'm guessing it is a little lower in fat and protein which means you can feed your pup a bit more treats, but not much more, LOL! I accidentally purchased the puppy formula instead of adult and my dogs were fine. The puppy formula has more protein and fat, but to tell the truth, not much! And the price was so much cheaper than the adult formula, I just might buy it all the time! Its a good seven bucks less per case! Wellness and some of the other so-called high quality foods have much more protein in their dry food alone. My pups eat Taste of the Wild dry food, which is an excellent, never advertised, (so the cost savings can be passed on to the consumer) lower cost, high quality, no grain, high quantity of meat (not meat byproducts) food and the doggies love it. Their protein is a little less than those other popular high prices brands. My sisters German Shepherd could not handle the high protein and ToTW had just enough. So, I dont think messing with a few grams of protein one way or another makes much of a difference for the time it will take for your pup to eat one case of dog food. I have two standard Dachshunds (6 y.o. & 4 y.o.) & a 5-1/2 y.o. Boston Terrier mix. All very healthy. They share 1/3 can of CSFTDLS as a flavor enhancer (little princess Bostey girl doesn't like just dry food, the Doxies will just about eat beef flavored cardboard, they don't care, LOL), 2x's per day.

I LOVE this brand, however since it has "NEEM" in it, I personally would not use it on a young puppy as I have heard NEEM is not good for young animals. It says it's for DOGS but no mention of puppies.

"I use this product for my adult German Shepherd who has pancreas problems. This is a supplement to the deficiency in his enzymes and avoids soft stools and diarrhea. Call the company and ask them this question. They were very helpful when I spoke with them. If a phone number is not on the jar, you can get it from the internet. Check with your vet regarding any supplements for your puppies.Mary Anne

Probably as we also had it prescribed by our vet for our Great Dane. Its the same thing but way more at the vet. Its 100 G. If you still have the bottle from your vet check the UPC #....I did and they matched. The number on ours is 2780430030. We also use 1/4 tsp over the food 2 times per day for our Dane.

I think so! I buy 55lbs of pedigree dog food and it fits most of the bag! Granted the kibbles are much larger than grains of sugar or flour. I think it would suffice for your purpose no problem!
