Food For Pups

[angeline]

As I  told you in another post, I am from Portugal and we do not have the same food that you have in England, so its a bit difficult to say "this food is good" or "that food is good" so I would like to know what are the protein/lipids/carbohydrates percentages of your foods.  This way, I can compare with food here.  What are the ideal percentages for 2 month old puppies.

My dogs are all on Hills Science Plan, the analysis for their puppy complete food is as follows:

                        Puppy with Chicken            Puppy with Lamb & Rice

For some reason this is not displaying as I typed it, I hope you can follow it  
The first percentage is for the Chicken & the second for the Lamb & Rice.

I'd ask your breeder as your pup wil already be on a certain food which you have to continue with once the pup is home and if you change it change it over gradually

If you go to the Burns website there's an email to contact in Portugal (at bottom of page)
