It's best to get him a food that is meant for large breed puppies. The brands that put the most research into these particular products are Hills and Royal Canin. There is a lot of misleading information on the front of many brands of dog food, but the most important thing on that bag is a tiny bit of writing under the guaranteed analysis called the AAFCO statement. This statement tells you what actual research went into making the product. Below is a link to an article that will help explain this more and give some other info about feeding your dog: https://www.petcoach.co/article/what-to-look-for-when-choosing-your-pet-s-food/ I hope that helps and all is well with your pup.
