Ash is a very cute puppy!! My suggestion (and what I feed my own dog) is Royal canin medium puppy. Its a red and white bag and sold at Petsmart or online. It has a chart on the back of the bag to determine how much to feed per day. It's a very high quality food. Only buy a small bag, as it should be open for no longer than 1 month (as it does not contain artificial preservatives). It also has a satisfaction guarantee.
