Is Pedigree harmful for my 7-week-old puppy? What food is safe?

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 1 month and 22 days old

Pocholo is 7 weeks now. Some told me that feeding him with pedigree will be harmful in the future. What product would be safe for him. I'm from the Philippines and I only see pedigree and alpo products here.

Pedigree is better than Alpo in my opinion, and if that is the best option you have to feed Pocholo, there's nothing wrong with feeding him that. It's not harmful to feed him this, but I would make sure you are feeding him a puppy formulated food. Puppies need higher amounts of calories, protein, and calcium than adult dogs, and a puppy formulated food will give him that.
