Have you had a dog before? If yes, what did you feed it?
I've never heard of fish4dogs, what are in the ingredients?

Almost everyone feeds a different food, we feed Eukanuba, there is another thread on here about James Wellbeloved + some suggestions there. Whatever you change to do it gradually or you may upset little tummy.

By the way welcome

Fish4dogs is a premium food, I would continuing feeding for a while you can purchase online, do not be in to much of a rush to change diet.

I would agree with the above, the pup is very young to have it go through a food change, so if possible stay with Fish4dogs for a while,.. change if you wish to in a few months,..slowly

Yeah I wouldn't change from Fish4Dogs either, it's an excellent food....xx

If it suits, keep him on fish4dogs. I've heard good things about it.

You asked about the ingredients of Fish4Dogs. I work for Fish4Dogs, so am declaring a not impartial interest.

The ingredients for the adult Salmon are

30.5% Salmon, Potato 30.5%, Herring Meal 21.4%, Salmon Oil 7.6%, Beet Fibre 6.4%, Brewers Yeast 2.1%, Minerals 0.8%, Vitamins 0.7%

For the puppy they are

Ocean White Fish 34%, Herring Meal 26.5%, Potato 21.3%, Salmon Oil 9.6%, Beet Fibre 5.2%, Brewers Yeast 2.0%, Minerals 0.8%, Vitamins 0.6%

Its grain free no artificial additives and because the protein source is fish its high in Omega 3 and a good easily digestible protein

we had a few issues with food.

When Sam was a puppy we fed him Hills, science plan. Sam was then on pedigree for a while.... big mistake! we have been experiencing behaviour problems with Sam, and i cant recommend royal canin GSD enough! since he has been on it he has calmed down loads! i wouldnt have believed it if i hadnt seen the changes with my own eye. Its different for you with a puppy, but just bear royal canin gsd food in mind for when the time comes.
