Good Puppy food?

We recently got 2 Dachshund Puppies(we haven't picked them up yet. We are going supplies hunting tomorrow). I wasn't for sure what to feed them though? I know there are dog foods that aren't so good and some that are good.

What should we feed them?

What are they on now? You'll want to transition them slowly if they're on a poor food. If they're on a good one you could keep it.

wellness, blue buffalo, Halo are all great brands that have a puppy food.
Look for a food at a pet store not a grocery store. Stay away from Science diet, Purina and Iams they are all poor quality even though they are pushed by vets and breeders. You want to start your puppies off right with real meat, not byproducts or fillers.

If you want high quality, grain free for a descent price I would go with Taste of the wild. Do not look for life stages (puppy, small breed, large breed, etc) as they do not have those Cali said it all tho...depending on what they are on, you should slowly switch them over. Typically you can do this in a week or two, since they do not eat much throw in a couple kibbles of the new food with a majority of the old food and about 2 days later increase the new kibble and decrease the old kibble, then keep doing that until they are off the old and on the new
