Our pets need quality pet food. Read the ingredients list and learn what the stuff on there is and what it does (or does not do) to/for our pets. A quick pet food 101. If the pet food contains corn/corn products or by products it is a poor quality food. Do not pay attention to advertising, they all say there food is great. Corn is a filler that can trigger skin problems. (allergies, skin problems, itching and excessive shedding) By products is anything from an animal not fit for human consumption, including cancerous tissue. Quality foods have meat as the first ingredient. California Natural, Solid Gold, Innova and Merrick are a few of the best brands available.

Dog food for sure, but not just regular. Try using something all-natural like Chicken Soup for the Puppy (or Dog) Lover's Soul. You can usually find is at a feed store. An all-natural food won't have corn or any by-products (left over parts like beaks and feet) that aren't the best possible sources of protein. You want something with at least 28% of protein. Raw food can mess with their stomachs and you don't really want your dog to be throwing up or having loose stools, when he's supposed to be gaining weight.
The food my brother has his pit bull on is Nutro Natural Balance for your puppy I'd suggest large breed puppies.
Benefits:
1. Glucosamine and Chondroitin to lubricate joints to prevent arthritis and dysplasia that large dogs are prone to getting.
2. They guarantee a healthy skin and coat.
3. They guarantee digestibility - so they absorb more vitamines and minerals and antioxidents. They support brain function, immune system, nervous system, cardiac system, and skeletal system. The dog absorbs more nutrients so they stay fuller longer, you don't feed as much and their stools are smaller.
4. They guarantee the dog will love it.
5. If you notice any of the guarantees are falling short they refund your money 100%
6. They have different formulas to fit your needs - dental care, allergy, high energy (for working dogs), lite, weight management, senior, canned, pouched and treats.
7. No by products (heads, feet, intestines, feathers etc)
8. No corn. (It's hard to digest)
9. All natural products.
10. Holistic brand to choose if you want to go that route.
11. Many other benefits

I feed mine Purina Puppy large breed puppy formula... make sure u r feeding them whats appropiate for their age.... also rice is a good way to put meat on their bones.. cook it and mix it in their food.... good luck mine is 11 weeks old and weighs about 17 lbs
I either make my own "cooked" dog food with recipie help from http://www.dogiebag.com or I buy it from them. Stay away from processed store bought dog food.Raw Food or Regular Dog Food For Pits?
Buy a dog food where the first ingredient is meat. I don't really like Iams because I was feeding my American bulldog this and he wasn't gaining weight, his coat looked like crap, he just started looking unhealthy so I switched him to Royal Canin and he totally improved and looks really healthy but here are some suggestions for some good dog food.
Here is some websites on helping you choose dog food:

If you want some brand ideas, here's a few. NaturaPet makes several great lines (www.naturapet.com), Canidae is great (www.canidae.com), Eagle Pack (www.eaglepack.com), Solid Gold (www.solidgoldhealth.com), Timberwolf Organics makes good food, If you want to check them out anyway, the web site is www.timberwolforganics.com . Those are what I'd probably consider best by ingredients and nutrient panels, but the best food is the one your dog does best on. Some other good brands are Natural Balance, Nature's Variety, Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover's Soul, Wellness, Blue Buffalo, and more.
