Switching him over to the EA and he really likes it, picks it out from the other food, he looks good and feels good, so guess thats what he'll eat!!!

I've raised EVERY litter of pups that I've ever had on Purnia Puppy Chow. The only time I've ever had any problems with it was when I started the female of Puppy Chow as soon as I bred her. Those pups all had puss pockets on their elbows at 2 weeks old. They weighed 6lbs. Ever since that litter I've waited till the female was about 3 weeks from whelping and I've never had any problems since.

I give my pups all they will eat until they quit growing. Once they are grown up I give them what I think they need to stay in shape.

Me and Murph can walk but the body style I have is not condusive to running!!! Of course being fat gives me a good excuse not to climb trees.

I've raised several litters of pups on Diamond Puppy and it's good feed. I don't know if it is better for pups than the Extreme Athlete or not. Our local feed store doesn't carry the EA so I haven't tried pups on it.
