Generally speaking, puppy food is higher in protein and enriched with vitamins, minerals, and fats essential for growth. Commercial puppy food must meet AAFCO (Association of American Feed Control Officials) nutrient standards for growth.
Buy "puppy food." It's more likely to have the extra nutrients a puppy needs until he's full grown. (Ask your vet for guidelines on when that might be--small dogs of course mature more quickly than big dogs.) Regular food labeled "for all life stages" is fine too.
Consider breed-formulated food. Large-breed puppy formulas help bigger pups grow at a rate gradual enough that they have time to develop strong bones and joints. Small-breed formulas provide concentrated nutrition in small, bite-size kibbles that meet a smaller puppy's high metabolic needs. And, yes, medium-breed formulas aim somewhere in between. If you can't find breed-formulated food, that's okay.

What makes an American akita different then akita inu?
the Japanese akita inu was created in world war 2, the story is there was a Japanese mother with 3 kids in world war 2 and she had to leave her home to go find her and her kids food and water but she couldent leave them alone, so she bred her 2 dogs toghether and made the Japanese akita inu to protect her kids. there also known as the babysitter dogs. after that mothers all around the world leave there kids in the safe hands of the Japanese akita inu. in japan when someone is sick or having a baby there family and friends give them a statue of the Japanese akita inu for a symble of good luck and loyalty. the Japanese akita inu is a, loyal, corageus, very very smart, great with kids, protective dog, they are made for babysitting children and protecting there family even if it means his or her life. he will die for you. hatchi was a Japanese akita inu too. as the Americans ruined the Japanese akits inu by breeding them with something else and making the American akita. the American akitas story is, these Americans were jelouse of how stong and loyal the Japanese akita inus were, so they took one and bred it with a whole bunch of diffarend dogs to try to out bid the Japanese akits inu. so the dogs they have now are American akits and they are so diffarent, they, are bigger (not better at all), stronger, more diffarent. the American akita is not good with clildren. needs a strong leader. needs to know who is the alpha. the American akita is now made for killing brear and big game. and dog fighting too. if you have children of any age i highly recomend the Japanese akita inu.
