What's the best food for my Great Dane puppy's healthy growth?

Question

I have a 11 mo old male great Dane puppy. I have heard to not feed puppy food (including large breed puppy food) you prevent "knuckling over" and OCD. I have also heard that large breed puppy food has the minerals and nutrients needed to grow properly. Does energy level increase proportionately with protein levels? What should I feed this puppy? Thanks. Pet's info: Dog | Great Dane | Male | unneutered | 2 months and 23 days old | 26 lbs

What a gorgeous pup! Great Dane puppies have a massive requirement for nutrients so I recommend investing in feeding a really good quality food for giant breed puppies. Royal canin does a really good puppy food which I trust for my own dogs. Don't listen to things like not feeding puppy food, there is no evidence for that. It is actually really important to feed puppy food because a puppy has different needs to an adult. Energy level has more to do with the carbohydrate in the feed rather than protein.
