Hello. You have quite a very handsome group of pups! The best dog foods most vets will recommend are those made by Purina, Hill's Science Diet & Royal Canin. I personally feed mine Purina One True Instincts. These may not be the very cheapest foods out there, but they are definitely more reasonable than the incredibly high priced boutique foods which are no better than the basics. Hope your guys do well & thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center.

    Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Of the inexpensive diets I really like Purina Pro Plan. The ingredients are high quality and the diet is highly palatable so dogs tend lo like it. Good luck and have a great day!

    When cost is a concern I go with Purina Pro-Plan or Purina One. Really good foods actually. I suggest this one for a growing lab. He should be on a large breed puppy food until he is about 10 months old then you can go to adult food. Shop around as you may find a lower price for it somewhere else. ( https://www.walmart.com/ip/Purina-ONE-SmartBlend-Natural-Large-Breed-Formula-Dry-Puppy-Food-16-5-lb-Bag/21553442 ) Don't buy into all this grain-free, all natural, blue buffalo junk. It is not worth the money and these diets have now been shown in clinical studies to cause heart disease. Stick with companies that do clinical trials on their foods to make sure they are balanced and healthy (like Purina). Hope this helps. Best wishes!
