What should I feed my puppy?
To support their rapid growth, puppies benefit from a predominantly moist diet. Adequate water intake is essential for normal metabolism and digestion, and aids in potty training by minimizing the excessive thirst and urine production that a fully dry kibble diet can cause. Additionally, moist diets typically yield less stool due to improved digestion and nutrient absorption. Variety is crucial; puppies require a calorically dense diet to sustain their growth. While exact calorie needs can be calculated, adjusting according to individual metabolism and manufacturer guidelines ensures proper feeding. Opting for varied protein sources in commercial diets further supports nutritional diversity, promoting overall puppy health and well-being.
