When is it safe to switch my puppy from Diamond to Blue Wilderness?

Question

I've had my 12 week old rough collie for 6 weeks now and I've been feeding him Diamond Puppy food, in the pruple bag, ever since I got him. I was wondering when could I change his food to Blue Wilderness Puppy food? I don't want to change it too soon, but I feel like he'll enjoy Blue Wilderness better. Pet's info: Dog | Rough Collie | Male | neutered | 3 months and 6 days old | 32.2 lbs

Trusty is a good looking pup! I don’t recommend to feed grain free diets unless you know that your dog has a grain allergy. Just so you know, food allergies are uncommon and represent less than 10% of all dogs who have allergies. When pets do you have food allergies, it is usually to the protein, not grains or other carbohydrate sources. Well the connection is not clear yet, there does appear to be a link between grain free diet and heart disease. This likely involves a genetic predisposition to heart disease that the diet exacerbates. I recommend to stay on the diamond food between the two but there are diets I think are better. Royal Canin, Nutro and Purina Pro Plan all produce very high-quality diets that are highly digestible and formulated correctly. Your puppy does need to be eating a large breed puppy food to help avoid skeletal issues as an adult. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
