Sooner the better
Both of our current puppies prefer the beef over chicken meal option. Thank you. They are thriving and excited not sure if it is because of the tender pieces mixed in or just the smell of beef. One of our pups we rescued ant a month old and on milk so having this brand and style has been wonderful to keep his transitions and focus. After having switched our adults this was an option we wanted to try.

Great for our pup!
We adopted our puppy recently and she was on Puppy Chow with her foster. We switched her food to a "high end" food, but she immediately got sick (vomiting, diarrhea, lethargic). We switched her back to Puppy Chow and she was so much better the very next day. She's back to happy puppy self. We recommend!

Would give a 0 star if possible, slowly switched my puppy to this and after being on this food nothing but diarrhea and vomiting. We also found very hard almost like green pieces of cement or rocks in her food… we couldn’t even break the pieces with pliers!

Frost’s favorite
Out of the foods I’ve tried, this is my little girls favorite so far. I feel it is easy on her belly as she has had no issues with it!

Wasn’t good for my puppy
My puppy kept having diarrhea and stayed sick. We went to the vet 3 times and finally figured out it was this food. He changed her food and overnight the diarrhea stopped. Finally after 6 weeks she got relief!!

My Rotti and Aussie loves it!
I feed the puppy chow to my 3 yr rottweiler. She lost weight when I moved her over to dog chow. The puppy chow gives her coat a nice shine.

Purina puppy chow with
Purina puppy chow with mothers milk is in me and Molly's opinions the best puppy food you can give and still be at a reasonable price. I've allways fed my puppy this type and it keeps her weight up. She's really a happy little fat puppy eating this food everyday.

Vomiting after feeding
I have two Irish Wolfhound pups. Both vomit after eating this formula. I am not sure what is in it to cause such upset.
