This newest addition to the family is going to require much time, patience and love. It may require a great deal of upkeep too. All of these things must be considered and taken into account when you go out to buy the basic necessities for your new puppy. If you are getting a puppy from a breeder, you will be able to find out what type of feed he or she has been using. Even if you plan on changing the diet, you will want to purchase a small bag of the original feed and switch over to your choice during a transition period of about seven days.
Puppies require an actual puppy food.
The same can be said about puppies. They require a higher protein and calcium level than the regular adult brand foods can provide. Owners should also be aware that there are differences in the qualities of dog puppy food. The better foods do cost more in short term but over longer periods of time they actually cost less. There are many excellent brands out there that have the higher digestibility.
