Many thanks in advance for any help received,

My whippets have the tracker which is for convalesing greyhounds so the protein is lower 20%. I used to use the racer but with 28% protien it sent my lot a bit loopy.
As you say you are getting a puppy I would get a good puppy food I don't start feeding tracker to my pups until they are about 8 months old. Maybe JWB or Arden Grange and then if you want to feed the greyhound food change to it when they are older.
I now mainly feed mine raw now they still have the tracker in the morning but get a small amount of tracker mixed with either raw tripe or raw chicken mince at night.
