Puppy Food?

[Lindsay n Archie]

Hi all, I havnt posted to hear in a long time!! Archie is now over 2 years old and we just recently got another puppy, Hank. He is now 10 weeks old and 15 lbs.  The breeder was feeding Diamond, and we switched Hank over to what we have always fed Archie, Fromm Grain Free all life stages. 

Anyway- went to the vet yesterday and she said he NEEDS to be on puppy large breed food WITH grains, and grain free is just a hype, etc.....  I also asked about  feeding until he is full or limiting it to the recomended amount. She said he should be getting 900 calories per day.  So i looked on Eukanuba website for LBP food to see their calorie recomendation and it is like 1,300!!!! So i am even more mad... Questions:

1) Is FROMM GRAIN FREE ok for puppies??? The ratio of calcium/phosphorus is 1.25 i think which is recomeneded (I have been stressing over this and googling way too much) 

2) is LBP any better an ALS for puppies (he will get prob 70 lbs or so) 

3) thoughts on grains??? 

Thank you!

How do you feel about your vet?

Our vet told us to very gradually change Ruby from the food she was getting up to 8 weeks [IAMS] to Wellness for Puppies. It is wheat, corn and soy-free. Ruby adjusted fine to the change and seems to glow with health. She suggested we give her 1.5 cups per day. Ruby is 15 weeks and 13 pounds. We see the vet today and are going to ask if she needs more given how much exercise she gets now [a lot!].

We really love and trust our vet.

I dont like the vet. She is new.  We did gradual transition him from Diamond to Fromm. We love fromm and he does really well on it so far (so does our older one). The problem is, should we be feeding large puppy food? And the calories. He is 10 weeks and 15 lbs
