Throughout our lives, our nutritional needs change. The same goes for our pets. Very especially when these are puppies, since the diet during the first months of life must guarantee all the necessary nutrients so that our dog or cat puppy grows healthy and becomes a strong adult. A deficiency could become a disease.
Until they are one year old, cats and dogs are considered puppies. In relation to the former, after weaning (at two months), kittens enter a stage of rapid growth until the sixth month of life, which is why they need a diet specifically formulated for growth. The best option is to give them an animal protein food that is highly digestible, nutritious and designed to meet their unique nutritional (and energy) needs. At six months, puppies grow less and activity levels drop a little. This stage of growth will require a diet of high-quality dry food, which can be supplemented with wet kitten food.
In the case of dogs, puppies can also start eating solid foods (semi-moist food and cans of meat) from eight weeks of age. Your baby teeth should have fully erupted by now. Of course, the size of your breed is important when choosing the most appropriate food. Food for small breed dogs is not the same as food for large breed dogs. The size of the kibble and the ingredients are focused on the size of our puppy’s mouth and his growth rate. We can, therefore, evaluate the best dog food and choose its version for puppies. Always remember to consult your trusted veterinarian beforehand.
