You should feed puppies a balanced diet formulated for growth.
Look for high-quality puppy food from a brand you trust.
We recommend carefully evaluating pet foods to determine whether the manufacturer meets the following requirements at a minimum:
Employs at least one full-time qualified animal nutritionist (Ph.D. or DVM-ACVN)
Diets are tested using AAFCO feeding trials
Controls supply line and has good quality control measures in place.
Foods formulated for growth should have a feeding guide on the back, directing the amount to feed based on current age and expected adult weight.
We recommend following these guidelines and checking in with your vet if you feel your puppy isn’t eating enough.
Provided you are feeding a diet formulated for growth, feeding dry food, wet food, or a combination is a personal choice.
In younger puppies, softening the food by soaking it in warm water for a few minutes is sometimes helpful.
