Puppy food reviews & recommendations

Puppy food reviews can help you decide which is the choice for your new furry family member.

If you`re feeling confused, or even a little overwhelmed, by the sheer number of puppy food brands/formulas - you`re definitely not alone!

Because there are so many to choose from, making a decision can be challenging... but there IS an upside......

..... you`re lucky enough to have access to a whole range of dog and puppy food manufacturers that use top quality ingredients and offer specific formulas designed to make sure puppies of all sizes get the right balance of nutrition.

The puppy food reviews on this page include many of the toppremium brands.

Each short review takes a quick look at the main ingredients and also the percentage of protein, fat and calcium in that specific formula.

Because puppies of different breeds/sizes have completelydifferent nutritional needs, I`ve even divided the information into 3 categories according to breed size (when adult).

Scroll down to see the best choices for small breeds, small - medium breeds and large & giant breeds.
