Hi I have a 7 1/2 month old puppy. He is about 70lbs and about 21 inchs tall. So it looks like he's going to get pretty big. I am really confused about how much calcium he should be getting. I read that pitbulls should be feed large breed food and the calcium should not be more that 1.5%. But I have also read that they are not considered large breed dogs. I would hate for him to have bone trouble later.
I am feeding him Nature's Variety Instinct Salmon now which has 2.49% calcium. Is that to much for him? I saw that NVI Rabbit has 1.12% and NVI Duck has 1.92% calcium. I was looking at these because if I switch it says that they are "Specially formulated for rotation feeding" so I though it would make the switch easier on him. Also because since being on the NVI Salmon he has had solid poops for the first time in months.
But I was also looking at Acana Pacifica which has 1.4% calcium.
Which one would be best or should I just keep him on the food he is on?
Thanks
