Many people recommend that a dog's diet should include both wet and dry food: 60% dry, and 40% canned.
Buy the best puppy food you can afford, whether it's canned or dry. Puppies of any breed should be fed the best quality puppy food you can afford, for it's first full year. To know if the food you are considering is a good quality food, read the ingredient panel on whichever food you're considering.
Amongst the first ingredients listed should be a named source of meat, such as chicken, or beef (not simply "meat", or meat by-products). In a puppy food, look at the guaranteed analysis to see that the protein level is 28% -30%. The fat content should be around 17% .
The food should be preserved naturally, with mixed tocopherols (Vitamin E) or Vitamin C. Avoid all artificial preservatives, such as BHA, BHT, and Ethoxyquin. There should be NO artificial food coloring or dies in in the food, and no sweeterners (such as corn sweeteners or sorbitol, and no added salt in a dog or puppy food of quality.
The best quality dog and puppy foods are not found in a supermarket, you would need to go to one of the larger pet stores, or a specialty feed store.
