What are good puppy food brands to gradually switch my new puppy to?

Pet's info: Dog | Australian Shepherd | Male | neutered | 2 months and 10 days old | 37 lbs

I was wondering what a good puppy food brand is that I can gradually switch my new puppy to? The pet store we got him at had him on pro Pac ultimate, so we bought a bag of that to get us started, but I'm not sure if that's a good brand and was wondering if there is a better brand that might be better for him to switch to?!

Good question! I recommend either Royal Canin Puppy food or Hill's Science Diet puppy food. Both of these companies do a lot of research and quality control and they utilize the expertise of veterinary nutritionists in formulating their diets. If you do transition Jax from one diet to another please make sure to do it gradually (over 4-5 days) to ensure he doesn't get an upset stomach. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach and best regards to you and Jax!
