Puppy's are sweet to have around, they are not only beautiful to cuddle, but also make great company, to ensure that they are in the best of health and live long, a well balanced puppy meal is mandatory. But then what things need to be considered when choosing a good diet dog food? Always consult your vet before shopping for a puppy's diet. Puppy's dietary needs are different from mature dog's dietary needs. You should therefore avoid grocery store trips to grab that easily available dog food which might not be suitable for your diet dog food.

There are many options to select from when feeding your puppy, here are some; natural and organic puppy diets are quite popular these days and you should consider getting some. A number of pet owners like feeding their puppy raw diet. Others may select kibble as their preferred dietary component for puppy food. With all these reasons valid, let's focus on the last one.

As you introduce the puppy to solid food, remember that good quality puppy feed with little kibble is ideal. Good puppy diet should incorporate all the vital vitamins for it to form a healthy diet capable of excellent growth. Puppy mealtimes are best given three to four times a day. If your puppy finds it hard eating the diet you give, try to soften the food by moistening it a little with water so that the puppy can eat it easily, but a point of caution is to avoid moistening diet dog food with milk because milk acts as laxative in the puppy's diet. Water is better because it creates a softer and easily chewable cuisine for your little friend.

As the puppy grows and gets used to feeding on kibble as a daily part of his/her diet, you should consider slowly reducing the amount of water. If you intend to feed the puppy on dry dog food until it fully matures, then you should plan your diet switching earlier than later. Do away with dog food moistening because it could make diet switching a difficult task later on in life. Six weeks of age should see your puppy feeding on solid kibble.

Give your puppy all the kibble he or she desires during the early stages of weaning. Always remember to feed the puppy on the new diet dog food at regular intervals. When the puppy approaches his or her fifth birthday, reduce the diet from the previous three to four times a day to only two mealtimes a day. By this time you should be well accustomed to the feeding culture and should have figured out the right day rations of food quantity necessary to give your dog a healthy diet and stable weight.

If you are not confident about the dietary needs of your puppy, then consult your pets vet for advice. Majority of puppies have a round, cuddly and cute demeanor at one point in their young lives. At times it can be very hard to tell whether your puppy is overweight. Your vet is the best and easily obtainable help you have when it comes to answering this question. Seek his assistance concerning weight issues.

Providing a healthy diet for your puppy should not be a difficult task. Seek your pets vet for advice, guidance and any information you may need to ensure that you provide the best diet suited to your pet's special needs, whether it's a senior dog, adult dog or puppy. Remember to choose your pets food wisely because poor nutrition can do a lot of damage to your pet's health. Good diet dog food in the early stages will provide a very good foundation and will propel his/her growth significantly.

ANYONE USE SOLID GOLD puppy FOOD?

Jada Asked:

i have a ABPT she's 3 mnths. she has wierd little nicks in her coat... wondering if its the food or skin problem? from what i heard this puppy food is suppose to be the best! the vet saw her and just said watch it. so no bad new quite yet.

Reply:

I feed it to my pup and on her last visit, the vet commented on how great her coat looked. It is on pricey side, but you don't need to feed as much because it's no loaded with fillers.Also the dog will have much smaller stools.

If and when you do change your dogs' food, make sure you do it gradually because dogs have sensitive tummies.

solid gold dog food1 Optimize your Pet’s Health: Improve your Dog’s Immune System
Veronica Eng asked:

As I believe in improving health naturally, it is crucial to boost our pet’s immune system to prevent illnesses and allow their body to heal itself.

Here are some things we can do to boost our pet’s immune system.

• Regular optimal amount of Vitamin C. Though dogs produce their own vitamin C, it may not be sufficient to maintain optimal health. Vitamin C is safe and there is no harm in overdosing Vitamin C as excessive amounts will be flushed out of the body. Personally, I prefer powdered form Vitamin C as I can add it into their meals easily without stuffing tablets in them. Solid gold has powdered Vitamin C or you can purchase the human version of vitamin C from pharmacy. Just go slow when introducing Vitamin C and keep to the optimal level amount daily. Too much at one go can cause diarrhea onset as the body purge the excess Vitamin C. If you cook or warm your dog food, add the vitamins & supplement last after the food is cooled and ready for feed. (Avoid microwaving your dog food to warm it as it will destroy the goodness of the foods. I prefer to give my dogs chilled food rather then microwaving it. All I need to do is boil some water quickly and pour some hot water into the food to make it at room temperature, than add the supplements accordingly.

• Healthy meals. Cook for or feed BARF diet, buy fresh meats and vegetables. Daily healthy fresh foods selection is essential for good health. Instead of giving dog treats which can be laden with chemicals and sugar, give your dog fruits and dried meats as treats instead.

• Fatty acids (e.g. Flaxseed oil/powder). Purchase flaxseed that is organic and bottled in dark container. Alternatively, quality supplements such as Missing link for Canine has all the essential vitamins, minerals and omega oils a dog needs. Missing link for Canine supplement is a balanced supplement encompassing omega oils, minerals and vitamins. If you purchase this, you no longer need any additional supplement. When buying any supplements, ensure your pet is not allergic to any of their ingredients.

o Purchase your pet supplies including Missinglink from this site Pet Rescue Petstore. 10% of all purchase goes to animal rescue purposes. Purchase Missinglink with joint support if your pet is elderly or if she has joint problems. Otherwise, the regular Missinglink is good enough for most dogs.

• Colostrums are cows “pre-milk” that is secreted prior to producing milk. Colostrums are given as supplement to provide antibodies, nutrition and to strengthen the immune system. Purchase children’s version of colostrums that is chewable. Dogs love the taste and give them once a day on empty stomach for better absorption.

• Filtered water is preferred. Ensure water bowls are changed, washed and refilled daily.

• Fresh air daily. . Bring your pets to the park regularly to ensure the fresh air and greenery. Going to natural environment has higher levels of anions in the air which inevitably help boost your pet’s immune system and improve blood circulation thus higher level of oxygen in their body. It is necessary to avoid high traffic areas as fumes from the vehicles are bad for their respiratory and can accumulate toxic buildup in their respiratory track. At home, ensure the home is well ventilated. If you are unable to walk your pet daily at natural environment, consider purchasing air purification system or use Lampe Berger (a century old product from France) to ensure good air surrounds the whole family. With daily good air therapy, it aids in boosting your family and pet’s immune system.
