Full Question:
What are your thoughts on the Solid Gold WolfCub food? I pick up my puppy on March 20th, and the breeder was pushing that stuff pretty hard. However, I've heard that Solid Gold practically gives the stuff to breeders to get them to recommend it. So, I'd like a second opinion on what I should be feeding the puppy.

I asked him about Innova and some other brands, and he said those were good. But, he said he feeds the Wolf Cub to puppies to prevent their bones from outgrowing their joints.

I'm planning on feeding Innova EVO or the Instinct Rabbit formula when he gets bigger.

Should I be feeding something else to a puppy? I definitely want to do a raw diet, but still use kibble.

Thanks!

Cindy Cindy's Answer:
I don't like any of the Solid Gold foods, the Wolf Cub has 4 types of grain in the first 6 ingredients listed. That in itself is enough for me to say that it's not appropriate food for any dog and especially not a puppy.

Here is a list of kibbles that we feel are better quality, although we really don't advocate kibble at all. (we won't sell our GSD or Malinois puppies to people who are kibble feeders) I have heard good things about Orijen, it's on the list.

Try to do raw if you can, at least part of the time. You will have a healthier dog because of it.

Let me know if I can answer any other questions. Have fun with the new pup!
