New Frenchie Mom Food Recommendations

[YodasMom]

Hi everyone,

I recently got a French bulldog puppy after 2 very long years of waiting/researching. He just turned 10 weeks 2 days ago and I'm kind of stuck on what food to give him as he is still on the food the breeder sent. I was interested in giving him a raw diet but I'm seeing conflicting reviews about it not having all the nutrients for a growing pup. I also looked into some kibble brands and I'm between Fromm and Orijen although the high protein content has me conflicted. I also thought about mixing a 1/4 of the kibble with either some dehydrated raw. If anyone could point me in the right direction that'd be greatly appreciated as I am on dogfoodadvisor and it is a bit overwhelming.

Thanks in advance


P.s I'll post some pics of the little guy (Yoda) later when I get home from work

Congrats on your new baby and yes...we need pictures!!

You can most definitely feed raw to a puppy. Raw is the best way to go as far as diet. Fromm, Orijen, Acana are all good quality kibbles as well. You can also do kibble and a dehydrated raw like The Honest Kitchen or Grandma Lucy's.

Wow, long time to wait, but a great reward at the end; congratulations!


Looking forward to Yoda's pictures.




Here is the other side of the due-diligence coin...


My wife and I were 4 months into our 6 month no-dog purchase moratorium.

On a Monday she asked, pretty much out of the blue, if I would ever want a Frenchie.


We picked up Loki from the breeder's house five days later.


Guess it was meant to be.

Thank you for your recommendations! Would you recommend the honest kitchen as a stand alone? Or any other good Raw's for a puppy. I looked into Answers as well.

I don't know anything about raw, but I just wanted to say hi and welcome.

You can definitely do THK for all meals if you wanted to. I mainly use Vital Essentials frozen raw which is more prey model as there’s no fruits or veggies. Primal and Stella & Chewy’s are also good brands and those do have fruits and veggies.

You can definitely do THK as a stand alone, or mixed with a high quality kibble, like the ones mentioned.

Answers Pet Food is excellent. Their sourcing is superb, they don't use HPP (like Stella & Chewy's and the Primal poultry do), and I love the fact that they use fermentation - great probiotics, etc. Highly recommend Answers products.

Make sure the Honest Kitchen food you buy has all life stages recommendation. Some of theirs are only recommended for adults and seniors.
