Finding the Right Puppy Dog Food

March 8, 2012 by PetFoodia

It is extremely important for dog owners to choose the right puppy dog food. Just like young children, puppies are going to grow quickly, and will have certain nutritional needs that must be attended to; therefore, choosing the right blends, and purchasing the correct puppy dog food is essential to their growth and development. When buying puppy dog food, shoppers will find that there are hundreds of brands to consider, both wet and dry food, natural or organic, fortified, and all other words and phrases they will see on the labels, making it difficult to choose if the owner does not know what their puppy needs.

It is important for the owner to seek out the proper formula for their puppy, and not going with a blend that is for all life stages. The puppy dog food which is properly made will contain additional calories (allowing the puppy to get the caloric intake they need on a daily basis), which make for rapid growth, higher energy levels, and the support the puppy needs for proper growth (bones and organs) from a young age to adulthood. Therefore, when choosing the food for your puppy, rather than focus on brand names, there are other factors owners should consider instead, to ensure that they are getting the proper nutrition to their puppy.

When choosing the puppy dog food, owners should consider some of these factors prior to choosing a brand of dog food. The formula should be specifically made for puppies, and it should be formulated for the breed of puppy you own. The food purchased should also be low in protein, 25% or lower is ideal for younger puppies. The owners should seek out foods without any fillers, and should find blends which have digestible proteins in them, and not bone meal. If unsure what to buy when purchasing puppy dog food, owners should ask their vet, and make sure that the blend they buy has AAFCO approval on the bag, meaning it meets nutritional values for the puppy.

Also, puppy owners should find a blend and formula that works, and stick with it until the puppy moves on to the next stage of development. If you have found a puppy dog food they enjoy, one that is properly formulated, and one that is suggested by your vet, then it is the perfect blend for your dog. Additionally, by sticking with the same taste, it will be easier to transition your puppy to a new formulated blend during the next stage of their life. You will be able to choose the same brand, and the same ingredients, only for older dogs, rather than puppies.

Considering all of these factors when choosing your puppy dog food, will ensure that dog owners are getting the essential ingredients and properly formulated food to their puppies. It will allow them to grow and develop properly, and it will also help in the internal functions of the puppy, as they are not required to digest foods which are formulated for a full grown dog.
