Ask The Doc: Puppy Food

back to topic list

In reading the questions of the week, I see you have mentioned a brand of food -- "Eukanuba Large Breed Puppy Formula" for your new lab pups. I have never heard of this brand, is this purchased at normal pet stores, grocery stores or a special order item? Does the same manufacturer have a formula you step up to for the adult dog? Thanks for the information.

Dr. DeMichael: Eukanuba Lg. Breed Puppy Formula is not available in grocery stores, but is available from some pet stores.

I can even help you out if you would like. I do a large portion of my shopping "on-line" including dog food. It's delivered to my door, there's no sales tax and there are many incentives to bring you to their on-line stores.

The site I use and recommend is www.petopia.com. If you shop there and spend $25 or more, you can get a 20% discount by using my promotional code number. That # is V21136. You can order directly from their web site or if you need help call their service line 1.877.738.6742. You can give them the same number for a 20% discount over the telephone or punch it into the promotional code area when you check out from their web site.

They have the entire line of Eukanuba products for every age or stage of your dog's development. Eukanuba does not pay me to recommend their food. I feed it because it works best for our dogs.
