Feeding your puppy dry food

The first complementary foods are given to puppies no earlier than 2 weeks of age. As complementary foods, you can use both natural food and ready-made diets. Nowadays, the second type of complementary foods (and subsequent feeding) is more popular. all the ingredients in the finished diet are already pre-balanced and adapted to the needs of the puppy’s body. This means that the owner does not have to spend time preparing food and worry about how the kids will perceive the new product, whether it will provoke a digestive upset or an allergic reaction. In addition, modern pet stores offer a wide range of dry food – different tastes and price categories, and choosing the right line is as easy as shelling pears.

Dry foods that are prescribed as complementary foods are called starters. It is with them that the first – separate from the mother – meals of the puppy begin.

Also on the packaging, the manufacturer indicates the daily rate of feeding the puppy. For babies under the age of 2 months, special dry food is offered in its usual form or soaked in warm boiled water shortly before meals, literally in a couple of minutes. Remember to keep your puppy’s bowl filled with fresh, clean water at all times.
