My large breed puppy won't eat Blue Buffalo. What food is best?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Alaskan Malamute | Male | neutered | 5 months and 14 days old | 82 lbs

What would be the best food for my malamute to eat? He's currently eating the Blue Buffalo for large breed puppies, but never wants to finish a bowl of food like he doesn't like it. So I'm just wanting to see options for him.

This is a great question, especially because there are so many food options out there for puppies! Several brands of food including Hill's Science Diet, Royal Canin, and Purina One are often preferred. These companies do a lot of research and quality control to ensure their foods meet strict nutritional standards so I would recommend one of these brands for Sixx. These companies also make canned puppy food which may entice Sixx to eat more enthusiastically. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
