1. Feed Them Right

Choosing high-quality puppy food is important to match your pup's breed, size, and specific nutritional needs.
How to Choose the Right Puppy Food
How to Choose the Right Puppy Food
Consult Your Veterinarian
Puppies need lots of protein, fat and calories. At the same time, you don’t want health issues like rapid weight gain. Talk with your veterinarian about how often you should feed your puppy and what they should be eating.
Stick With Puppy Food Until Adulthood
Small breed puppies generally become adults at around 8–12 months, medium breeds around 12 months while large and extra-large breeds become adults anywhere between 10–24 months.
Consider Your Puppy's Size & Breed
Different breed sizes have different nutritional needs. You should also be aware if your puppy’s breed is known to have specific food allergies. These can be managed with special dietary care.
Gradually Transition to New Food
Changes in diet can cause digestive issues like diarrhea. To switch your puppy’s food, mix small amounts of the new food with their current one, increasing the ratio over 5–7 days until the transition is complete.
