Soon to be pup

20 9:10:32

Question
I'm in the preparing stages for my siberian that I plan to bring home soon. The one question that seems to stir lots of controversy is the food your dogs eat. I recall in one of your answers that a 30% protein and 20% fat is a good balance for Siberians, although I don't know whether these %'s are for adults and/or puppies... I am considering these foods in this order.

Innova EVO dry food(puppy)
Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover's Soul Puppy Formula
Or some of the Solid Gold food line.

Comments and more information would be much appreciated.

Answer
I'm not familiar with these brands in particular, but those percentages I mentioned were what I started my pups on at 7 weeks of age.  They eat the same food now they are 5 years old . . . I also usually supplement the food with some form of meat several times a week.  (tablespoon of hamburger for example)

You should be good if you keep those in mind, and Sibes really don't necessarily need to change food from puppy to adult - just the amount of food they eat generally goes on a bell curve - increasing until about 6-8 months, and decreasing until about 12-16 months.
