Have a family who would like me to change foods on puppy before going home. Children have allergy to wheat and milk- my puppy food has dried milk added. Two choices are Pro plan Selects Puppy Turkey and Barley or Pro Plan puppy Lamb and Rice. I Have used Pro plan Puppy Chicken and Rice- but not the Turkey nor the Lamb. Was wondering if anyone has used them and how their Lab puppies have done on them.

TIA!

We feed Pro Plan Large Breed Puppy for years and they have done well. Not sure if this has dried milk product in it or not.

I have fed the Turkey/Barley formula to an adult and she did well. Not sure I would feed a straight puppy food to a Lab puppy...if they can't do a large breed formula, I would probably look at an adult food.

JMO...I am sure you will receive many.

I was not aware that PP makes a Puppy L&R??
I thought only C&R, Lrg Brd or Perf??

I have found that Innova large breed puppy's formula specifically targets the rate in which a large breed puppy should grow and that is SLOWLY!My 7mos.Lab puppy is doing well on Innova and enjoys its all natural, holistic, allergen free recipe.

PP does have a puppy/all life stages L&R, but most of the big box stores don't carry it. I know someone who switched to this for their adults when the shreds took over the "regular" L&R.

Yes, Pro Plan has made a Puppy Lamb & Rice for some years. There is neither a Large or Small Breed Formula of it, as there is for the Puppy Chicken & Rice.
The PP Puppy L & R has the same Guaranteed Analysis as the PP Puppy Chicken & Rice formula and a very similar ingredient list, with the different protein. In my marketplace, the PP Puppy L&R is only available in 40# bags though - your area may differ.
I have used PP Puppy Chick & rice sucessfully for many years and I would consider the PP L & R equivalent.
The PP Selects Puppy Turkey/Barley would be fine for the wheat allergy situation you mention. I've not seen the PP Selects Salmon & Rice Puppy as not available here, but I'd guess it would be very similar to the T/B Selects.
BTW, the PP Performance formula is an "all-life stages" formula, so technically is not a Puppy Formula, per se.

Well I didn't know that, as it's never been marketed here.
Thanks!

Sorry, I should clarify that.
Yes Pro Plan has made the Puppy Lamb & Rice for some time, but to my knowledge they do not make a Lamb & Rice Performance formula.
don't you just love trying to keep all the dog foods straight?
Cheers
