Puppies grow and develop relatively quickly, so they must be provided with sufficient and balanced nutrition. In terms of diet, the needs of puppies and adult dogs are very different. Please follow the editor to take a look at the relevant analysis in this article.

1. Puppies are different from adult dogs. When the newly purchased puppies arrive home, the feed during the first period of time must be carefully arranged. In terms of nutrition, animal protein, calcium, vitamin D and other nutrients are very important, because generally a puppy that grows from six months to one year old will have a higher caloric requirement for each kilogram of body weight. Twice that of an adult dog. Therefore, in the process of puppy growth, it is best to match suitable nutritional feed, or simply purchase dog feed with balanced nutritional design produced by the manufacturer, so that the dog owner does not have to worry about matching the feed.
2. Puppies have small stomachs, so they must follow the principle of eating small meals often. In the early stages of weaning, babies should be fed more than four times a day. At about six months, feeding should be maintained three times a day. As I got older, I gradually dropped to feeding twice a day. The optimal amount should be controlled when feeding every time, and the puppy should not be allowed to eat too much.
3. Although you don’t want to feed the puppy food that is eaten by humans, the puppy’s requirements for food are very simple, and it will swallow all the dates and will not refuse anyone who comes. After a puppy gets used to eating some items that people eat, it will become dependent on the items that people eat. Because the nutrients in the food eaten by humans are not consistent with the nutritional needs of puppies, the result will be an imbalance in the puppy's nutritional absorption, which will affect the puppy's development.
4. Another thing to note is that you should never feed puppies human milk or other human dairy products such as ice cream. If puppies eat too much milk or dairy products at one time, they will develop gastrointestinal problems such as diarrhea. If a young puppy is short of milk, it should be fed milk suitable for puppies and heated to a temperature close to human body temperature.
