I personally would not want to give my dog "all purpose' food daily because I believe my Corgi is normal and should have the benefit of separate stages food to maximise the benefits.

IMO, you keep changing the points. We were not discussing seniors or adult dogs. We were discussing feeding puppies.
And no I don't "get you". You are the one who keeps harping on AAFCO guidelines, approval or whatever. It's their guidelines that make a food suitable for all life stages. Meaning it has to be formulated for the higest of the nutritional values.
And yes, as a matter of fact my adult dogs, and seniors and puppies all eat the same food. An adult maintence food. My dogs currently are ages 2 1/2 to 15 years. And they are all eating an adult maintence food.
Now this doesn't mean I won't feed a dog something special if that dog needs it. Right now I don't have any needing special diets.
I also belive you have the choice to feed YOUR dog the way you want and and I have the choice to do the same. And I have the right to voice my opinion and tell people what I belive and what has worked for me.
I do not belive you need to feed puppy forumlas or senior forumlas or whatever. Just adjust the amount of food as needed for each dog to maintain a proper weight. This is what I have been doing for the last 7 years and it seems to be working for me.
