    Normally I have no problem with searching for a new food... but I'm clueless about puppy food!

    I'm thinking I should switch from what my boy is currently on, he's a 7 month old German Shepherd and he's currently on Bosch Junior Maxi, I have noticed a bit of itchiness from him when I switched him back onto this food. My budget is €40 and under for a 15kg bag if possible. :o

    That's also my budget for a 15kg bag and we settled on Markus Meule naturnah - from zooplus online. We buy two at a time with the discount as well. Works out around 70 for 2 bags.

    We also feed raw (in the evening meal) so the MM kibble lasts a looong time.

    Great food for our needs. Have Jack (the younger of our two Huskies) on it since about 4/5 months.

    They have NEVER refused a meal. EVER

    That's the food I was looking at! The only thing that is stopping me is that it's not for puppies.

    I would not be inclined to let this worry me even the slightest :) It's all just a bit of a scam, this puppy food thing. Kinda reminds me of the marketing genius of RC coming up with breed specific foods....
    Ooh! I own a Boxer/Yorkie/Westie/whatever... If I don't buy the breed food for my breed, I'd be somehow letting him down :o
    Pure genius!

    You won't go wrong with decent quality adult food, supplemented when you can with sardines, eggs, meat etc.

    Jack has been on it since a puppy. Younger than yours is now! Very soft breakable pieces. As DBB says, easy to supplement with sardines or egg or plain yoghurt or my zooplus favourite - salmon oil.

    Here he is after about 6 weeks on it (bout 7 months old)

    My puppies all get adult food at around 5 mths old. I find they grow slower but end up with nicer confirmation. I add oily fish & raw chicken wings/legs to it, vitamin C is also added. The adults get the same.
