VERY helpful site for diet & food help!!
Just thought I would let you know that this page is to be taken with a heavy grain of salt. The page is run by HUMAN dentist who has no degrees in any sort of nutrition (human or animal). He vaguely states he's done "professional studies in human nutrition" and is interested for canine nutrition. He actively promotes non-evidenced based claims on his website. He's also rated foods potentially linked to DCM higher than foods following WSAVA guidelines. There is a little more but this isn't the space to write it :) Feel free to PM me for more info or research Mike Sagman (the dentist who runs a dog food review website). I'd recommend one of the foods that follow WSAVA guidelines if possible: Hills Science Diet, Royal Canin, Purina are top three but are pretty expensive
I'm not sure about the dentist fella, but it sounds like you know a good amount, I'd like to mention though that a lot of Purina's dog food is shit I have a list of foods that my vet (she specializes in dog and cat nutrition) that of course I can't find right now LOL :')
But as soon as I do I'll edit this with a pic :D |

But as soon as I do I'll edit this with a pic :D Personally, the only Purina I like is Pro Plan (which I do believe is WSAVA compliant or used to be) but I'm feeding BlackHawk (sometimes Meals for Mutts) and Big Dog premade raw topper as it's the best quality I can get that my dog will actually eat. She'd prefer literal shit over Hills or Royal Canin. Above all, feed the dog in front of you and if it won't eat anything other than an average brand of kibble, feed it the average brand of kibble. Always consult your vet though. |

Totally agree. Ukanuba is a saviour.

Get in the habit of taking the pup out in the morning and about an hour after he's been fed. For overnight tho, I strongly suggest using a crate. They tend not to 'go' where they sleep. Take outside right after letting him out of it. Ukanuba, or Iams puppy food are some of the best. We used it for our show dogs. Gave them beautiful shiny coats. Leash training, no jumping on you and no biting you (or anyone). Training time should always be fun, but keep lessons short. 15-20 minutes max. They can be done several times a day. Need any more suggestions, pm me.

I read some awesome tips there! We love our crate, and so do our dogs, tbh it is the biggest lifesaver and helped so much for house trianing. Enjoy your new puppy!! |
