Puppies are too adorable and one cannot resist loving and pampering them. Puppies are in their growing stage and this is the time to properly train them, give them the right food so that there is no compromise in their health.

Feeding is very crucial in making a puppy healthy. Just feeding a good quality food is not enough, there are other considerations as well, let’s look at these.

Puppy feeding tips 

Always keep fresh water available
Most people serve wet food to dog, by consuming wet food the moisture required by the dog is fulfilled hence it requires less water. However irrespective of this fact, fresh water must always be available to puppies as they will require additional water.

Do not refill half empty bowl

If the pet has not eaten its entire meal then do not keep the bowl after meal time is over. This will make it eat more than the desired quantity and it will more often require relieving itself.

Do not feed cold food

Never feed cold food to the dog taking it out directly from the fridge. The puppy/dog will be develop cold and fever, always allow the food to reach room temperature and then only feed it to the pooch.

Do not feed leftovers

The dog must never be fed leftovers from the table. This not only increases its food intake but also dis-balances the nutritional intake of the pet.


Treats


Appropriate pet care is only possible when the dog is given the right treat at the right time. For instance dental treat is not meant to be given every day and it is not a substitute for regular meal so it must not be given to the pooch on daily basis.

There are small treats which are given to the dog after it completes a training process, or spends quality time in crate but these treats must not be given every time it will spoil its diet, and health of course.

These were some basic tips that have to be considered while feeding the puppy. A puppy is no less than a child so it must be handled with right love, care and training.
