Selecting a Food for Your Puppy
Today, most dog owners prefer the reliability and convenience of feeding a commercial pet food. When selecting a food for your puppy, characteristics to consider include nutrient content and ingredient quality, energy density, palatability, and the reputation of the manufacturer. Select a food that is formulated for your puppy’s age, breed size, and activity level, and that your puppy finds appealing and satisfying. When fed, the food should support normal gastrointestinal tract functioning and produce regular, firm, and well formed stools. Most importantly, the selected food should support vitality and health, good coat quality, healthy skin condition and proper body condition and muscle tone.
