Feeding your new Pug puppy the
right type of food can seem difficult. There are so many different brands out
there that promise to do so much for your growing pup. Take a look at a few
brands, the premium brands (which are usually sold at veterinarian's offices or
online) will normally have a high nutritional value. This will allow you to
feed your Pug pup less food at scheduled feedings. The brands that have a
higher nutritional value will also be easier for your puppy to digest.
Life's Abundance is one of the
best premium dog foods on the market today, and your growing Pug puppy will
need only the best. Some dog foods that are not seen as being premium are
filled with additives and by-products. These can be hard to digest and harmful
for your Pug puppy. Life's Abundance is free of all by-products and fillers.
Just pure natural human grade ingredients. Ingredients such as fresh fruit and
vegetables, which help provide antioxidants and minerals, all premium chicken
meal and catfish meal, this is free of all by-products so your Pug puppy is
just getting the pure protein needed at the early stage of life. Life's
Abundance is also filled with whole grain brown rice which aids in adding fiber
to your dog's diet. With beet fiber, brewers yeast, and bacteria cultures, your
Pug will have an active immune system, and great overall health.
Experienced Pug breeders know
that you should never feed your puppy what you and I would eat. Human foods are
not always best for a growing Pug puppy. They need specific ingredients to stay
active and healthy and what we eat may not be good for their systems.
Dog foods on the market today
are made specifically for certain periods in a Pug's life. There are foods made
for early puppy stages to old age. These foods contain added ingredients to
help the dog excel for that stage. Most vets and Pug breeders will recommend
that you feed your Pug puppy "puppy stage food" for the first two
months that the puppy is home with you. After the two month mark you should
feed your Pug puppy adult dog food. An excellent way to judge exactly when you
should switch the type of food, is to take a look at the growth of your Pug
puppy.
Once your Pug pup has grown to
around 90% of its growth then you should switch the food to adult stage. This
is recommended because many puppy staged foods contain extra calcium and
proteins. This may seem like a great addition to the food because we think of a
Pug puppy as always growing and needing more calcium and protein;
unfortunately, the added calcium and protein can cause problem in the joint,
tendon, and muscle development of the puppy.t option for anyone who has a lot
of time to give and love to give!
