Our puppies tend to really enjoy Superior Care Natures Protection Puppy Food, however, we understand that the cost of this food may not be affordable for some families. we also feed a much cheaper, but equally healthy brand of dog food, Purina ONE Plus. Each brand offers top tier nutrition- setting your pup up for a healthy & ambitious start!
