Complete guide to feeding your puppy

Understanding puppy nutrition

Proper nutrition is essential for your puppy's growth and development. Puppies have different nutritional needs than adult dogs, and their food requirements change as they grow.

Choosing the right puppy food

When selecting food for your puppy, look for high-quality puppy formulas that meet the nutritional standards set by the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO). These formulas are designed to support your puppy's growth and development.

Feeding schedule

Puppies should be fed multiple times a day, typically 3-4 meals per day, to meet their nutritional needs. This helps prevent overeating and ensures they receive the proper nutrients for growth.

Transitioning to adult food

Most puppies should be transitioned to adult dog food between 12-18 months of age. This gradual transition helps prevent digestive upset and ensures your puppy receives the proper nutrients for their life stage.

Hydration

In addition to a balanced diet, puppies need plenty of fresh water to stay hydrated. Always provide clean water in a suitable bowl that's easy for your puppy to access.
