Hi guys,

I have a 2 month old labrador mix. During the Pet World 2011 at Midvalley, I bought the Canine Carviar, Chicken & Pearl Millet Dinner for my puppy as it stated there:

CHICKEN & PEARL MILLET ADULT is a complete and balanced formula intended for moderately active dogs, growing puppies, and breeding animals. Chicken & Pearl Millet Adult is the most nutritious food your dog will ever need and is the ideal diet for large- and giant-breed puppies!

The nutrition are as following:
Crude Protein 26.0 % min. Omega 6 3.80 % min.
Crude Fat 16.0 % min. Omega 3 1.27 % min.
Crude Fiber 4.0 % max. Beta- Carotene 0.01 % min.
Moisture 8.0 % max. Lecithin 0.20 % min.
Calcium 1.6 % min. Taurine 0.10 % min.
Phosphorus 0.9 % min. Digestibility 91 % - 93 %

Reference from: http://www.caninecaviar.com/Chicken%20And%...et%20Adult.aspx

After I bought only then I realize the calcium level is quite high.
I read some article they advice to keep the calcium to as minimum as possible to prevent joint and skeletal problems to the large breed puppies.

1. Can I still feed this formula to my puppy?
2. What can I do to reduce the calcium level in the formula?
3. When I bought they gave me free puppy milk aswell. Can I feed it to him, since it will contribute to higher calcium level?

Please advice as this is my first time having a labrador puppy.

Thank you.
