Feeding your dog : Part 1

The young puppy

A growing puppy needs four moist meals a day. These can include scrambled eggs, boiled fish, and prepared puppy foods. Most prepared puppy foods have been developed to meet the dietary needs of very young dogs. Read the feeding instructions on the can carefully to check the amount of food that is needed by your breed. If you buy your puppy from a breeder, you will be given a diet sheet for your new pet. Puppies of large breeds may benefit from calcium and vitamin supplements. Your vet will be able to advise you about these.

Checklist

• Wash your pet's dishes every day.
• Read the feeding instructions on your pet's food carefully.
• Ask your vet for advice on vitamin supplements for your puppy.
