Points to consider when deciding what puppy foods are right for your puppy.
When choosing a puppy food, take a few minutes to think about the needs of your puppy. Does your puppy have a hard time chewing foods, due to its underdeveloped jaw?
Does your puppy often get an upset stomach from not being able to digest the foods that you are presently feeding it?
Is your puppy underweight or overweight for its size and age?
Are there any other special needs that should be considered for your puppy?
Please remember, when you are dealing with a puppy that you should not consider it as a full-grown dog. It has needs that are different from an adult dog and should be taken into consideration. The healthy growth of your puppy depends on it.
