    Max is a very good food, are you feeding a large breed puppy formula?

    Large breed puppies have different needs than smaller puppies because they grow to be so big. Choose a large breed formula that is a controlled growth formula like Natural Choice Large breed. Controlled growth formulas ensure that your puppy doesn't grow too quickly which can put undue strain on their growing joints. Straining young bones and joints can create health issues later on in life like early arthritis.

    Natural Choice Large breed is a great option without breaking the bank since large breed dogs eat a lot! It is also the only brand that is guaranteed to improve skin and coat which is great for breeds like the husky as this can control the amount of shedding.

    Finally, don't be mislead by ingredients. If you see chicken meal in a food, this means that it is chicken with the bone and water removed. It is still real meat, but it has been rendered down to be more nutrient dense and very digestible which is great for puppies.

    Hope that helps :)

    You might want to switch to a brand that is better. Nutro does not use real meat in their food, just ingredients like corn and chicken meal. Some dogs actually get allergies from eating these. Some good dog food brands are Blue Buffalo, Halo, and Innova. They use real meat as the first ingredient.

    It's not bad, but there are better out there. Try Wellness, I've used it for years for both cats and dogs. Theres puppy food and dog food for when your puppy grows.
