It speaks for itself that food and health are linked together but do not get confused by the huge variety in dog food and doggie treats. Give your dog well balanced meals and it will feel good, look great and grow up healthy and stay healthy. Get yourself well informed and watch the condition of your dog closely. If you got your dog or puppy from a breeder, they are the ones to turn to for advice. They do have a lot of experience with doggie chow. And besides that, just like with little babies, some puppies can be rather sensitive to a change of diet and the poort little thing could end up with an upset stomach and you with a lot of trouble that could have been so easily avoided.
Sandy, my Lab, was one of those picky eaters and I had to go through a lot of trouble to try and make her food attractive to her. Even when it was time for her to eat she would walk up to her bowl and pull up her nose for the dog food in there after just a couple of little sniffs. I have to admit that not every solution was a healthy one. Usually just a little bit of leftover soup or a broth drawn from chicken hearts with a bouillon tablet poured over her food would do the trick to get her to eat. Our little Stinky, the dog that is sharing our life now, is one of those dogs that likes variation in her food and if we do not comply with her demands she would rather go without anything at all than to keep on eating the same stuff all the time. We buy some different kinds of dog food for her every week. No big bags or packs or cans, which are usually a lot cheaper. It is worth it to do whatever it takes to keep your dog a healthy and happy pet. A standard answer to what is the right food for your puppy or dog, do not expect it cause there is none. Just get well informed and then choose the right food depending on your dogs needs and demands, keeping in mind that what your dog or puppy needs today will not be the food it will always need or like.

Another good source to get valuable information about food for your dog or puppy is the veterinarian. They can usually give you good advice on good healthy food for every puppy or dog of any age. There are different kinds of dog food that meet with the needs of a puppy, an adult dog and the senior dogs. In case of weight problems you will even find the right food for an overweight dog. Some dogs can be pretty picky eaters or get bored with their meals after they have been eating the same food for a while.
