Here are 6 tips to choosing the best puppy food for your new companion!

1. The simple truth is, if a dog food is high quality and all natural you don’t need to feed a puppy food. Choose a food that is formulated according to the nutritional profiles of AAFCO (American Association of Feed Control Officials) for ALL stages of life.

2. Always look for a good source of protein listed in the first 5 ingredients. The two best sources of protein are chicken meal and catfish. Most people don’t realize it but chicken meal has much more protein in it than regular chicken does because all the water has been removed. So chicken  meal would be the best choice. Cat fish is also a good protein source and has essential oils in it.

3. Just like humans, a puppy needs vitamins, minerals and antioxidants in their food. It’s also a great idea to give a nutritional supplement along with their food.

4. Remember to stay away from any food with corn, wheat, glutens, dairy or soy. These ingredients can be very hard to digest. A puppy food can say all natural and sound like a great food for your puppy (corn and wheat are indeed natural) but just because it’s natural doesn’t mean it’s necessarily good for them. Dogs can become allergic to grains like corn and wheat, so starting them off on these grains is not a good idea.

5. NO, NO chemical preservatives! There are chemical preservatives in so much food today and it is actually a “toxin” to the body. Foods with BHA, BHT and ethoxoquin should be avoided.

6. Stay away from by-products! Very yucky thought! Many commercial puppy foods add these to their food………. So read your labels closely!
