Diamond naturals small breed puppy here, no corn.
I looked at a few Victor bags and they used sorghum as a filler (2nd ingredient) but dont know about their puppy food.
Just never heard of sorghum in dogfood, how do those using it like it?

Dave, Been feeding the victor for 6-7 months now and been very happy with it. Haven't tried any of the puppy stuff from them just the High Energy & Performance formulas.

I tried the puppy chow thing before and absolutely couldn't stand it. Stool looked like soft serve ice cream. I just feed my pups the same as I feed my running dogs. I've done this with 2 liters that I raised and also with pups I've bought . I've never had a problem doing this.

I am trying this one out. The kibbles are small and the two 12 week old pups I have are doing great on it. I think it is 32/22. Seems to be putting weight on them better than the last food I was feeding.
Where's the earth shattering kaboom ?

Sprinkle a little milk replacer powder over the food and it wont matter which one you choose. Doesnt cost much but will get MAX growth and health out of a litter.

We use it up to around 5-6 months, you can use it as long as you like. Take one pup in a litter and do this to and treat the rest like you normally would just to test it out. You'll be a believer I promise. My uncle has always done it since I was young kid, and his dogs were ALWAYS the biggest and healthiest ones in every litter. Just takes a little powder and sprinkles it over their food.
