Aww, bad foods you mean...hang on, I'll find that one for you...Forgot to mention, whatever your pup is being fed at the breeders, I would keep feeding it for a couple weeks, then start transitioning him to a new food
The protein level is a bit high for a puppy(30%), should be 28% or less...It also has a lot of corn as well, which isn't good..Does she feed the performance to the pups or the puppy food? I looked at the puppy food and it's protein level is 28% which is better
