Question by Sheryl Tinstman: What's the difference between Science Diet Puppy and Science Diet Large Breed Puppy?

I have a new puppy and the Vet game me a free sample of Science Diet puppy. He's a GSD and is 41 lbs at about 5 months. I've seen Science Diet Puppy Large Breed as well. Is there a significant difference between the two or is it just marketing?

Answer by Christine Tropiano
Both are pretty low quality foods, but large breed puppy foods SHOULD have LESS protein in them. But, because SD is such crap, the protein amount is still way too high and only slightly lower than the regular puppy food.

With a GSD, you should be feeding a low protein food anyway. California Natural has an EXCELLENT large breed puppy food that you should look into.
