1. Dog food
When the little golden retriever is just born, it is best to let it eat breast milk if possible. It usually enters the weaning period 2-3 months after birth. After weaning, you can choose high-quality goat milk powder, puppy dog food, or canned dog food on the market and feed it to your golden retriever. You can feed it 2 to 3 times a day. It is best to adjust the feeding amount according to the dog's appetite and the instructions. Don't feed too much. If it is dry dog food, it is best to soak it until it is soft before giving it to the golden retriever.
2. Meat
During the growth and development process of the golden retriever, in addition to ready-made dog food, it is usually best to prepare some complementary foods to supplement its nutrition. For example, minced chicken breast, beef and fish have high protein content and low fat, which are rich in nutrients for little golden retrievers. Sometimes you can mix a little honey into the puppy's dog food, which can not only increase appetite and supplement nutrition, but also treat constipation to a certain extent.
3. Vegetables
When feeding a little golden retriever, you can also feed it some vegetables. The most common ones are Chinese cabbage, broccoli, carrots and cucumbers. Of course, you can also feed it some pumpkins, sweet potatoes, potatoes, etc. Because there are a lot of nutrients in vegetables that can be provided to puppies, they are also very easy to digest and suitable for the gastrointestinal needs of puppies. However, if you feed your dog too much fruit and vegetable food, it will easily cause diarrhea, so you can only feed it in small amounts.
4. Moisture
No matter how big the golden retriever is, the owner must prepare enough clean drinking water for it. However, it should be noted that it is best not to give cold water to your golden retriever before it reaches adulthood. Warm and cold water is best for them. In addition, the water source should be changed frequently to avoid gastrointestinal discomfort in dogs caused by water deterioration.
