What is the best dog food for my puppy?

I have a young Jack Russell Cross she is now 10 months old. Since bringing her home from the dogs trust she has been on Arden Grange puppy/junior which is what she was on at the dogs home. She will never eat her food all at once, and will pick a mouthful up from the bowl and take it across the kitchen and eat it why does she do this? We are looking to change our dog food due to Arden Grange being hard to get hold off. What would people recommend? Dry dog food recommendations only please.

1. puppy chow go to petsmart
2. http://www.dogfoodanalysis.com ^Most of the 5 and 6 star foods are good. Experiment with a bunch of different brands and see which one your dog does best on. I like Innova and Wellness Core.
3. my dog loves Bakers complete- it looks good too different colours and shapes edit they do a puppy one too- he has just become a man and moved onto the adult but he liked the puppy one just as much
4. My Vet advised us not to use just dry food (we have a Bassett Hound) and not to use any Pedigree Chum products, we used Butchers Puppy Food and now Butchers Regular canned food with a meal of dry in between. The Vet said Dog's are much like people and do not feed well if given the same food at every meal time. Columbo (our dog) is now a big healthy 18 month old and he's really fit and well.
5. I would try purina puppy chow. But always check for any recalls. It's probably just an eating habit to carry the food across the room. She should be on a vaccination schedule. So ask the vet. The vet will make sure she is wormed, and healthy.

7. As far as your question is concerned about your pup walking across the kitchen to eat her food, I wouldn't be too worried. All dogs have their own personalities and all do odd things, just like humans. And as far as food goes, I HIGHLY recommend an all-natural food called 'Avoderm'. This food has been the best thing to happen to my dogs ever! Not only do dogs love this food, but it also helps them keep a shinier, cleaner coat, and reduces stool (which is great for you... Anytime you have to pick up less dog poo, it's a good day). The only thing about Avoderm is that it isn't easy to find. You won't be able to get it at a grocery store, so I suggest checking pet stores in your area, or looking online. Another plus is that if your dog will not eat Avoderm dog food after you've bought it, or it makes your puppy sick, etc. Avoderm will give you 100% of your money back. Another thing is that Avoderm is generally a bit more expensive, but so, so worth it. Best of luck! Finding the perfect food for your pet isn't always easy. PS... Just a note: At my pet store, we offer the 100% money back guarantee on our Avoderm dog food (it is the only dog food we sell) and so far, we have only had ONE person bring it back, claiming her dog "didn't like" the food.
8. Eagle Pack holistic is a great food also! Its not 5 or 6 stars but it should be. Its 4 starts and it has worked better for dogs then some of the 5 and 6 star foods.
9. Raw diet, Wellness, Solid Gold- Barking at the Moon, Innova Evo.
10. if money is not an issue.. go to you vet. they have really good food for your puppy!
11. My dog did that when he was a pup and still does it 15yrs. later,vet had no explanation for why he does it.
12. We feed our 11 week old puppy James' Wellbeloved :)
13. I have 2 Japanese chins which are very small dogs and I feed them on Betta puppy food one of my dogs will pick up one little piece and walk all the way to the lounge and eat it and when she is eating this it looks as if she is having a full meal she will go back and four like this till she is full it is very funny to watch and she is having her exercise at the same time this has been the best food yet good luck
14. Arden Grange is said to be a good quality food Burns is also a good food and you can order online and get it delivered to your home, the company is reliable and your order usually arrives in about 2 working days, here is a link for their website http://www.burns-pet-nutrition.co.uk/ Another good food is James Wellbeloved which is available at some pet shops and vets and most pet shops can obtain this food for you if you ask them to http://www.wellbeloved.co.uk/ You can purchase James Wellbeloved from Pets At Home or Jolleys pet shops or you can buy it online from pets at home or pet planet You can also obtain Arden Grange from Pet Planet http://www.petplanet.co.uk/search_adv.asp?sp=arden%20grange&sd=632&nsp=arden%20grange I would not buy supermarket brands as they tend to be low quality.
15. Hi there, As far as she is concerned your pup thinks she is in a wolf pack. She probably knows by now that you are the boss but like children there is nothing to stop her trying to assert herself. Anyway to my point in a pack in the wild any food belongs to the head of the pack and then the followers can have their share after. Any food left around is likely to get eaten unless you are the boss in which case no one would dare touch your food. By leaving her bowl and taking her biscuits to the other side of the room she is saying to you that she can mess about if she likes because you can't touch her food. It's really just her way of acting up. Never leave her food down for two reasons. 1 it's not hygienic with flies etc. and 2 if she thinks it's there when she wants it she will be in no rush to eat it and will become a picky eater. Instead offer her food to her three times a day and if it's not eaten within ten minutes pick it up and let her see you do so. Obviously if you are going to treat her, never feed her from the table and always make her sit before giving her a treat. If she snatches make a high pitched squeel this may seem a bit of an over reaction but she will think she has heart you and will learn not to snatch. As for food, if money isn't an issue I feed my dog and my two pups on Hills Science plan. It is very easy to
16. one of the best dog foods is James wellbeloved. it is hypo allergenic and contains only natural ingredients.
17. we had problems finding suitable food for our german Shepherd pup, it was pretty much trial and error finding a food he liked and one that didn't upset his tummy. so, like others have suggested introduce new foods one at a time until your dog finds her favourite. does it make a difference if you move the bowl to wear she likes to take her food? also, just to say i admire that you got her from the dogs trust and have given her a good home!
18. i would go for a 5-6 star food, but choose one with the least additives, nutro, choice is an excellent food,
