Feed your dog the best quality food you can afford. Poorly balanced diets can result in obesity and a shortened life span. High quality food is more easily digestible. Therefore, you use less and it also helps to decrease the amount of times your pet goes to the bathroom. Young dogs should be feed a growth formula until they are at least a year old.
Growth formulas have more protein than the maintenance formulas, essential for growing puppies.
Mature dogs should be fed a maintenance formula to maintain a healthy weight. Young puppies should be feed three times per day until they are at least six months old and then feed twice daily thereafter. Vitamins are great for growing puppies and adult dogs. They are a good way to treat your dog instead of giving table scraps. Your pet should always have access to clean, fresh water.
