You see i dont want to spend an excessive amount of money on food. I just want to find the best food for him with all the nutrients and stuff he needs but not for crazy amounts of money. and also what kind of food i should feed him when he is an older dog.

Best to get a Puppy food that is specifically for large breed puppies. Also on the ingredients list the 1st one should be a meat "lamb, chicken" and not a vegetable or a meat by products,

Iams for puppy, and then the adult formula. I'd get the dry formula also

You should get your lab on Canidae all life stages. It's around 38 to 40 dollars for a 40 pound bag. It will carry him thoughout his entire life. No need to switch him over at all.

See if this will fit into your budget.

Go with a high quality food such as Canadae for all stages (They don't have a "Puppy" and "Adult" formula - It's 1 food for all stages of life). It is a little more expensive than some of the other foods on the market, but you shouldn't skimp on your dog when it comes to food - It will make him a healthier dog in the long run!

Dry biscuits are better and can clean the teeth at the same time. feed from most major companies will be very similar with variations in what the include, however the major nutrient levels would be consistence. Older dogs have a lower requirement for energy and protein than lounger dogs and a higher fibre diet would be useful.
