Default Healthy food for a puppy

Hello everybody,

I know the basics, but what would you advice for a healthy puppy diet ?

I heard of vitamins supplements, are they really worth it or should I just feed it properly ?

Personally, I would not use supplements for my dogs. As long as they are eating healthy and getting good exercise, I find that they are okay.

Puppy food can be bought together with adult dog food, these have high fat contents and high calories in general. They support the puppy's growth. You could also consult your vet if you wanted to cook some of your own food at home. Be sure to know what foods you should not be feeding your dog because some of those can be really harmful.

Dog food nutrition matters a lot - quality food makes them healthy, strong and happy. You can see a distinction in their behavior and even their look. Homemade dog food choice is gaining in popularity. People are learning a variety of dog food recipes and preparing them at home, where they can personally account for the cleanliness and the ingredients.

Feed your puppy around 3 times a day. I don't recommend free feeding though because regular feeding schedules are good for dogs.

I always try to feed my dogs with unprocessed, organic food. Although it's a bit expensive compared to the regular dog food, the vitamins and minerals they can get from it is incomparable. My dogs never get sick. They are also very calm and obedient. By the way, I also maintain a regular 'eating time' and make sure that they are disciplined and patient as they wait for their food.
