DIET

When the puppy is still young, it is advisable to feed him with dry food in small quantities at frequent intervals. Always feed the dog at the same time, same place, to cultivate good eating habits. Avoid feeding him with table scraps, and at places other than his usual dining area.

At 6 months, your puppy can be fed twice a day and as he reaches on eyar old, one meal is usually sufficient. As the puppy matures, you may change his diet from puppy to adult food by slowly decreasing the puppy food and increasing the adult food. A good commercially prepared food, dry or canned are fine so long as they are nutritionally balanced and contain meat and grains, both required by the dog. Fresh water and fruits are essential to the dog's well being and occasional treats can be used when teaching the dog some tricks. Over indulgence in treats is a no-no.

If you choose to go with dry commercial dog food, it is important to take note of the ingredients in the packaging before giving it to your dog. Some poor quality commercial dog food contains preservatives such as BHA, BHT or Ethoxyquin which are known to cause cancer in dogs.
