All stages dog food is not even recommended for normal puppies ahead of the food designated as puppy food by the producers who produce both types - at least this was so with the only two companies I consulted with. Also, the Massey University canine nutritionist I consulted and a couple of vets I most frequently deal with with a pletoria of matters, confirmed that puppy food is much preferable to all stages food for puppies. International Corgi breeders I have spoken with on the subject (two in New Zealand, one in Australia and one in Canada) all seem to think that (normal) Corgis require puppy food of a normal type and strength of calcuim, proteins etc etc as found in AAFCO-approved super premium dry dog food and usually given until the puppy passes the 12 month mark. I have previously outlined more fully the items that puppy food contains in particular food brands that are either not in the all stages diets or to a lesser degree.
