Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pure Balance Grain Free Chicken and Peas a good high quality? It’s seems even better than Science Diet as it does have grains nod by products. It’s all life stages is that okay for a 7 month old Siberian husky puppy female. Was on Nutro Puppy. What would her end weight be if she is 46 pounds right now?

Thank you for submitting your question! Personally, I do not recommend grain free foods very often. An extremely small percentage of dogs have true grain allergies and most of these dogs are Irish setters. Grain free diets are high in carbohydrates and typically lead to weight gain. I also prefer to feed a food labeled for puppies instead of all life stages. I feel it will better meet her needs as a growing dog. All that being said, the best diet is the one that works for your individual dog. She must like the food, have no vomiting and diarrhea on it and have a glossy hair coat. These are signs it is meeting her nutritional needs. As for her adult size, you can typically double her body weight at 16 weeks of age. This is typically when she received her last set of puppy vaccines. I hope this information helps!
