We are getting a Dalmatian puppy soon and I would like some advice on his food please.

At the moment he's eating Royal Canin Mother and Baby Medium. His breeder will give us some of this food to take away, but I'm not sure what to buy to follow this up. Looking at the RC website I see at 8 weeks the puppy should move onto junior. I'm unsure if I need to buy some M&B in order to slowly (7-10days) transition from that to Junior or if they are similar enough (being in the same family of products) that I can transition him more quickly onto the junior just using the amount of M&B that the breeder gives us. I don't really want to be left with a load of M&B food so don't want to buy it if I don't need to, but more importantly I don't want to upset my pup's stomach either by moving him on too quickly.

Longer term we plan to change the food brand as we haven't been that impressed with the 2* review rating that this food gets but for the moment we want there to be as little upset for him as possible.
 
Thanks for that link Cinnamontoast, it will be handy ref. I've been quite surprised since I started looking into dog foods just how bad some of them appear to be! Yes dallies can have problems with purines and developing urinary stones and allergies can also be an issue.
 
Feed raw! After researching a lot there is no comparison IMO! Healthy, happy, shiny dogs with amazing teeth its a no brainer
