What you feed your pet can make a big difference in their overall health. Below are a few nutritional tips:
- Feed your pet high quality foods. These foods are much more concentrated than typical grocery store brands. Even though they cost a little more than commercial store brands -- over a month's time, it really will not cost you more to feed the pup, since you will be feeding less food if you follow the chart on the package.
- Feed puppies 3 - 4 times daily until 6 months of age. Then feed twice daily until one year of age. Adult dogs can be fed either once or twice daily.
- Avoid feeding your pet table scraps. These can make them a "finicky eater" as well as cause vomiting or diarrhea.
- The only real difference in canned and dry food is the amount of water it contains. Canned food is composed of 80% water. Therefore we recommend dry food because it is much more economical -- the nutritional content is the same.
- Vitamin supplementation is recommended to increase the pet's resistance and improve general body health.
