What's the best and safest dry food for my service puppy's lifetime?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Pomeranian | Female | spayed | 21 days old | 11 lbs

Blue Buffalo, Purina Pro Plan or Hill’s? My puppy is only 3 Weeks right now but when she’s ready to come home I want to know what dry food would be the absolute best and safest for her to be on the rest of her life since I know all 3 brands support all lifestages. Another brand I was looking at was Royal Canin. I saw that some of the brands had recalls, including blue buffalo having one just last year. I need my puppy to always have the best care since she’s my Service Dog and I depend on her.

Hi there and thank you for using pet coach! From personal experience, I would recommend using science diet or royal canin as the primary food. My previous dog lived to be 20 years of age and he was a science diet dog. I am a firm believer that a good healthy diet leads to increased longevity of our pets. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
