I have a French Mastiff puppy and I am currently feeding him Science Diet, Large Breed Puppy food but I was thinking about switching to Purina. There are so many things out there about what not to feed and what to feed in terms of ingriedients and I thought the ingredients in Purina seemed ok. I was wanting to switch mainly because of cost but I don’t want to feed him a food that isn;t good so I am ok keeping him on Science Diet or going to another alternative if there are better choices out there.
