Food suitable for puppies

(1) Food suitable for puppies

Such as dog food and canned food: I usually use Baolu’s Puppy Miaoxianbao. The dog food is French Royal puppy food, or Baolu Yiwei puppy food. I personally think Royal’s is the best, but A bit expensive. However, these foods are for feeding dogs that are over two months old. Because I am feeding a Chihuahua, it must be over two months old before it will eat.

(2) Milk powder for puppies

There is special puppy milk powder, which can be purchased in general pet stores; or you can buy goat milk to feed. Goat milk is the milk closest to breast milk, which can meet the nutritional needs of puppies and is easy to absorb and digest.

(3) Egg yolk

The advantage of egg yolk is that it is not only rich in protein, but also easy to digest and absorb vitamin A, calcium and minerals.
(4) Meat, beef, pigs, chickens, etc. are all good foods, but when raising puppies, they should choose fat-free ingredients because fat is easy to spoil. But feed cooked meat, not raw meat!

Food not suitable for puppies

(1) Frozen milk

(2) Meat containing a lot of fat.

(3) Sour, spicy, salty and other irritating foods.

(4) Small bones

Large and medium-sized puppies can be fed large bones rich in calcium, but do not feed chicken, fish, duck bones, etc.
(5) Pastries Generally speaking, there is no need to feed dogs cakes.

(6) Don’t feed chicken livers, etc.

Animal liver contains a large amount of vitamin A. After long-term feeding of large amounts of liver, vitamin A will accumulate in the body. Toxicity occurs when the accumulation exceeds 4 times the liver's capacity. It can cause swelling of the dog's limbs, pain, lameness, and even nerve paralysis, paralysis of the hind limbs, and fecal and urinary incontinence. In addition, it can also cause mental restlessness in dogs, easily broken hooves and claws, hair loss and dry scaly skin.
