Hi All!
I'm new and I finally decided to post something since I can't seem to find the right answer/advice anywhere.
I just got my puppy 2 weeks ago and she's 12 weeks now and am looking for another dry food to switch her to. I am leaning towards either Canidae All Life Stage or Canidae Lamb and Rice All Life Stage because there's a supplier near where I live that sells it cheaper than most dog food at the local Petco/Petsmart and has pretty good ingredients and no corn. However I am also considering a grain-free diet (like Canidae Grain Free Pure or Orijen Large Breed Puppy) for her but am concerned with the high amount of protein that's in it. Is it too much for a puppy her age? I believe Orijen is 80% protein from meat.. that sounds pretty high to me.
Emma is REALLY active and I don't want to feed her anything that would make her even more hyper than she is. lol. I can only deal with so much. She's currently on Eukanuba Pure Puppy which is corn free. I'm definitely looking to change her to something that's corn free but I'm still not sure she should get grain free.
Also, I'm not interested in a raw diet because of the possibility of food born pathogens.
Any suggestions or advice would help!

I feed my babies the Canidae all stages. I separated the food into two feeding, in the morning they get dry with a scoop or yogurt, and then in the evening I give them the food with some water and sardines. They love the sardines and the omegas are great for them!!
I tried an all protein, but they all got the runs. I have 2 corgis and 2 min pins. They are all different ages and so the all stages is great for my crew!
Oh and they love raw carrots as a treat! They gotta be cold though, they enjoy the crunchy!
Canidae All Life Stage is a very good kibble - on Whole Dog Journal's list of recommended dog foods. Make sure you get the one that has chicken meal as the #1 ingredient. If you can get that food at a good price, snatch it up (if it agrees with your pup, that is). If it does, I wouldn't worry about it containing grain. Not all grain is bad - it's just that some dogs are allergic to it (especially corn and wheat). High protien diets are usually best saved for older, very active dogs. Good luck.
Thanks for all the tips! I'm leaning towards Canidae mostly because of the price and has consistent good reviews. I'm a struggling grad student that also needs to feed myself lol.
My breeder recommends Canidae Chicken and Rice ALS of all the formulas since it's the most similar to what she's eating now. I also checked the ingredient list- Chicken Meal is the #1 ingredient so we're good to go on that =)
