Puppies are largely carnivores but will also eat some plant-based foods. The basis of your puppy’s diet should be a high quality balanced premium commercial puppy food that is appropriate for their life stage and health status. Your vet will be able to advise you on how much and what to feed your puppy. Cooked meat such as boiled chicken or lamb may be offered occasionally, but ensure there are no cooked bones, onions/onion sauces or other toxic substances present. Tinned sardines in spring water, tinned tuna and tinned salmon may also be offered as a treat occasionally. A small amount of finely-cut vegetable matter may be offered, such as cooked pumpkin or carrots. Fresh drinking water must be available at all times but do not offer your puppy milk as this can cause gastrointestinal upsets. Puppies should be offered food at least 4 times per day to begin with, gradually reducing the number of meals as they grow.
