My vet recommends Purina Pro Plan which is what I use for my GSP
What dog food do you use for your bird dog pup.
Hi. Don't know if this is the right spot to post this. But if not please let me know.
This will be my first bird dog for hunting. But i'm buying a Brittany spaniel puppy to train for pheasant hunting and just wanted to know what is the best high quality dog food Does everyone feed their pups?
Was recommended Loyall life puppy food by breeder but it's hard to find in my area And breeder is sponsored by them that's how they get it and they live way north of me (I live in South Jersey.) Any Suggestion would be appreciated.
Thank you

You might call to a feed grain supplier in your area. They may be able to order it in for you. I have raised a few puppies over the years and have used several different products, but all of them were 30/%protein with 20% fat. I do know that Jeannette Tracy of Ladywood kennels in Glenville PA uses Loyall and is very happy with it. She has customers in southern NJ who belong to the Englsih Setter =Club of America in Medford, so there may be a source for that product nearby. Google feed grain suppliers in that area and ask or you could ask Jeannette.
My last pup was fed Purina Pro Plan Puppy, because that was the best available oin my area. It is pretty much the same ration as their Performance product, but with smaller kibble peices. After one large bag of puppy food, I transitioned to the adult ration with zero issues.
Have fun with your youngster. Brittanies are neat dogs.

Just saw this.
I have started few puppies over the years and while the brands may have varied, they were all high quality feeds with 30% protein and 20% fat. My most recent pup was raised on Purina Pro Plan Puppy. As i normally do, i bought one large bag of the puppy formula and when that was done I transitioned the dog to adult formula with no difficulties. The puppy formula for Pro Pan is pretty much the same as their Performance feed, just smaller kibble. I suspect that Loyall is similar.
I suggest that if you want to find loyall feed, you contact feed grain suppliers in your area. They may be able to order it in for you. My feed grain guy orders in a Sportsman's Pride product for me. Also, I know that Jeannette Tracy (Ladywood Kennels) ot of Glenwood PA. uses Loyall products and is quite stifiecd with them. I'm pretty sure she has clients who are members of the Englsih Setter Club of NJ in Medford Twp. so it is quite possible that a feed grain or petfood supplier in that area carries,or can get Loyall dogfood. I would contact Loyall themselves and ask if there are any suppliers local to you. Alternately, you could contact Jeannette and ask her if anyone local to you feeds Loyall, and where they get it.
BTW, I just checked and you can actually get Loyall delivered from Amazon. Whoodathunkit?
Birttanies are neat bird dogs and pretty neat companions also. Have fun.

Thank you for your reply. I contacted (Nutrena) Loyall but they really was no help. My wife found a place in Illinois that had Loyall life puppy food and cheaper then most places. I heard and read to many bad things about Amazon and dog food so I pass on them. But again thank you for your reply. I have the pup and well be taken him to a guy near me in Pittsgrove NJ (Sunrise Kennel) that will train him and help me.Just saw this.

Matt and Norm Basilone are good trainers. They are capable of taking a dog to the highest level. They also are very accomplished at bringing a hunting dog along. Spend time with them as often as you can and watch what they do. They do a fair amount of work at the English Setter Club in Medford and it is an awesome place to train a dog. Feel free to mention that you coresponded with me, as I have known the Basilones for over twenty five years now. I don't get up to ESCA very often, but I am a member there.
If you have any questions, I would be happy to help if I can. You can PM me and we can go from there.
