Hi there and good morning. Thank you for your question. Puppies need to be a good quality, nutrient dense diet. Puppies, unlike adults, need a higher amount of calcium and other minerals in their diet for their growing bones. A food that is specially formulated for puppies you can find at your local pet store would be suitable. Cute pictures! Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach and good luck to you and little Jack.
