New Puppy on Pro Pac Ultimates ā Switch to Wellness Core or Other?

We just took home our 10 week old Vizsla puppy and were sent home with some of the Pro Pac Ultimates food sheād received since being weened, along with some TruDog Boost as a topper for the dry food (1 tablespoon per meal).
Iād not heard of Pro Pac before and checked the review here and discovered that he puppy formula appears to receive 5 stars. That said, weād given our old girl, who recently went to the Rainbow Bridge, grain free food (Blue Wilderness Senior among others over her life) and she seemed to perk up when we moved her to grain free. I also am not able to get Pro Pac Ultimates locally whatsoeverāIād be relegated to online ordering only which isnāt a problem (Iād always ordered from Amazon/Chewy/etc. in the past) but itās nice to have the option to pick up locally in an emergency.
Accordingly, before we picked up our new little girl, Iād looked at the potential dog foods from the Editorās Choice list and was contemplating Wellness Core (puppy) given itās high rating, relative availability both locally and online, and the fact that Iād have a better idea about where they source their ingredients.
Pro Pac Ultimates is certainly cheaper than Wellness Core, and is likewise cheaper than the Blue Wilderness weād fed our old girl, but my wife and I are willing to spend more for a better product if needed (and within reason).
Curious for input on whether Pro Pac Ultimates is a quality natural dog food (especially for puppies and with/without the TruDog Boost) or if I should consider transitioning to Wellness Core or another grain-free brand. Alternatively, would it be best to keep her on the Pro Pac until about a year old when weād move her to a non-puppy formula anyway and try a different brand at that point?
Any input is greatly appreciated.
Alex DMemberAs a follow-up to my initial post, I opted to transition our new little girl to Wellness Core Puppy. Iād attempted to contact Pro Pac (Midwestern Pet Foods) about the source of their ingredients and still havenāt heard back. With Wellness, I know where the meats are sourced and I have greater confidence in their transparency than with Pro Pac.
Upon some additional research, I discovered Pro Pac is marketed largely to independent retailers as a product akin to other mainstream natural dog foods but that allows for greater profit margin for those retailers . . . marketability and sales information seemed more readily available than information touting itās nutritional strength.
