Avoid That “Plump Puppy” Look!
Although people seem to enjoy the appearance of a plump puppy, feeding young dogs for that pudgy look is not good for their health or development. Overfeeding leads to rapid growth rate and overweight body condition and is associated with skeletal diseases such as hip dysplasia and elbow problems. Play it safe and feed your puppy for a lean and healthy body condition. Control her daily intake, monitor her weight and growth carefully, and provide plenty of play time and fun activities to help her to develop into a fit and healthy adult.
