You've just brought your new dog or puppy home. Now, what do you feed
it?
Just like humans, dogs need good nutrition to keep them happy and
healthy. Most veterinarians recommend dry dog food over canned food.
It has been determined that dry food has more nutritional value than
canned food. This is because canned food is usually about 70% liquid.
So, your dog has to eat more to get the same nutrition as dry.
Some brands of canned dog food are beef or chicken based and can be
adequate for small dogs. Dogs that weigh over 30 pounds should be fed
dry food for most meals. Use canned foods too so that your pet feels
that his hunger is being satisfied. Sometimes you can mix water or
broth with dry food so that your dog feels he is getting something
special.
So, how much food should you give and how often should your puppy be
fed?
Puppies that are six weeks old or younger should be given milk seven
to ten times during the day - and night. Your puppy will let you know
when it is hungry by yipping or whining....
