Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. A ten month old dog should be eating a diet formulated for growth, aka a puppy diet, until they are at least 12 months old. The top dog food brands that we recommend are Hills, Purina, and Royal Canin. But, any dog food that is NOT grain free, or vegetarian or vegan, should be healthy for your dog. I hope this is helpful!

There are number of great, high quality foods available, all of which are great choices. I like Science Diet and Royal Canin. Look for puppy food until she's 12 months old, then switch her to adult food. As for amount, go off the package recommendations, though you may find she needs less. For more specific recommendations for how much to feed her, talk to your veterinarian, as your vet can advise you based on her current body condition (underweight, ideal weight, overweight) and size. Thanks for asking Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!

Hello and thank you for your post! There is not one best food out there, but there are foods that are much better than others to feed your dog. All veterinarians have different foods they recommend due to the large selection of foods and what is available in different areas of the world. The foods that I currently recommend, and this is based on personal use with my own dog who lived to be 20 years old, are Science Diet, Royal Canin, Eukanuba, Natural Balance and Purina. These are my go to recommendations for pet owners currently. I would avoid foods that are all life stage and more specifically go with a puppy food, then at 12 months of age switch to an adult food. I hope this helps. Please feel free to contact me with any other questions you may have.

You will need to feed a puppy food until a year of age. the best quality and tests brands are science diet, royal canin and Purina. From there it is personal preference as some have different flavors and some dogs has sensitive stomachs and do better in one kind but this can only be known by trial and error
