puppy food

hi,i know there has been a lot of questions about puppy food.I just want to know what the best dry food is for my 6 month staff.
He has grown in height, but not really bulked up,he is about 14 kilo,but is not gaining weight too quickly.
I would like to put him on a good dry food,not too expensive,and not too windy,and dry stools.He is on pets at homes own advanced nutrition,but it is rather dear at £38 for 10 kilo.
any advice would be apprieciated

hope that helps

Pets at home's 'Wainwrights' range is good, as are 'Fish4Dogs', 'James Wellbeloved' and 'Orijen'. All are good foods, I havn't fed fish for dogs before but a friend does and it suits them really well.

Please don't forget that no amount of food will 'bulk' up your dog. Only his genes & a good exercise regime will do that.

hi caryll, our pup gets the good excerise and is off a good litter,its just that i want a good dry food that will fill him up a lot better.As the food he is on at the moment doesnt seem to be helping his growth.
thanks again

I think you'll just have to wait for him to fill out in his own time. At 6 months he's just getting in to the gangly 'teenage' stage, and probably won't start to bulk up for another few months.

Carylls right, most staffords dont even start to bulk up and fill out until past a year old. A good diet and exercise regime will help to make your dog fitter and more muscular but at the end of the day his genetics and skeletal build/shape will determine how much he will fill out. Trying to push weight onto a dog will only result in it becoming fat, you need to keep them really fit and add in more food according to an increase in exercise.

hi,and thanks for the advice, i suppose i am being a bit impatient with him.But i will be looking about for a cheaper but as good dry food for him.
thanx again[/img]
