When you bring your puppy to its new home, the breeder or rescue will usually give you a few portions of the dog’s usual food. You can then gradually switch to the food of your choice. When choosing dog food, it is important that you feed specific breed puppy food. There is a wide range of food for large or small dog breeds, the composition of which is adapted for specific breeds. Food for puppies is rich in vitamins and nutrients that young dogs need to grow. Pay attention to the manufacturer’s feeding recommendations. The amount of food depends on individual factors, such as the animal’s activity level. You should regularly document your puppy’s weight development. Your vet can use weight charts to tell you whether your dog’s development is normal for their breed.
Whether your dog prefers wet food or dry food, some dog breeds are sensitive to certain ingredients. If in doubt, consult your vet and speak to a staff member in your local Maxi Zoo store.
