I bought a dry food for stela's puppy who is 3 months. Its labeled that it contain 32% of corn protein. Is that ok for a growing puppy? Or it should be animal protein?

This is not a good quality food, i would recommend trying to look for a food with better ingredients meaning more quality meat and less corn. some examples include- Orijen, Acana and taste of the wild. Royal canin is also a decent option.
