Puppy-specific food?

QUESTION: Must all puppies eat "puppy food" or is it okay to just feed them larger servings of regular dog food?

answered by Marion Nestle and Malden Nesheim

ANSWER: We would recommend feeding your puppy only regular dog food that is labeled "for all life stages." This means that the food meets the nutrient requirements for standards of growth established by AAFCO (Association of American Feed Control Officials).


Marion Nestle is the Paulette Goddard professor of nutrition, food studies, and public health, and professor of sociology at New York University, while Malden Nesheim is a professor of nutritional sciences and provost emeritus at Cornell University. They are the food editors of Bark magazine and are currently writing a book entitled What Pets Eat.
