What food is best for my Great Dane mix puppy: puppy or adult?

Question

My puppy is a Great Dane Doberman mix, I'm not sure if I should give her puppy food or adult food because of the problems Great Danes have. I still have a few months until I bring her home. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Female | unspayed | 10 days old | 5 lbs

I would feed Zelda a puppy food. Because she is a puppy, she will need higher amounts of calcium, protein, and calories than an adult dog, and a puppy formulated food will provide that. You can give Zelda a large breed puppy formulated food, and feed her according to the instructions on the bag. Do not free feed her. I have attached a link to an article describing how to feed large breed puppies: http://ivcjournal.com/feeding-large-breed-puppies/
