Saint bernards, as will all large and especially giant breed puppies have very specific nutritional needs as they are growing and developing and a well formulated diet can help to minimise the risk of developing growth and joint issues such as hip dysplasia - I would recommend royal canin giant range up to 18-24months of age, feeding strictly to maintain a healthy body condition score (lean but with adequate muscle development) in order to optimise healthy growth. A cheaper alternative would be a greyhound puppy food but this is not as specific for giant breeds. A saint bernard is not an 'economy' breed of dog and remember that all routine treatments, insurance policies and medical/surgical care are going to be significantly greater than a medium sized dog throughout their life
