No, I would not say that it is a good brand of food. The first ingredient in it is rice, and you would want a puppy food to have the first ingredient to be a protein. Based on this, there is likely not enough protein for a growing puppy such as Pocholo. I'd recommend using a higher quality food such as Royal Canin, Hills Science diet, Iams, or Purina Pro Plan.
