Maltese Dog Food

Question
What kind of dog food should I feed my puppy maltese? I don't want the cheapest food or the most expensive, but I do want good quality and nutrition for my dog. What do you recommend?

Thanks,
Sarah

Answer
Don't get a dog food with corn meal in it. The corn is a filler in the dog food. Eukanuba or Science Diet are good choices--it is what I use for my maltese and they are sold at Petsmart and Petsmart.com. Canned Science Diet food may become an option if your puppy doesn't feel well or doesn't eat the cereal very much. You may also mix the cereal with the canned food or perhaps put water on the cereal to make it softer. My dog personally likes the crunch, but every dog is different in its eating habits. Don't forget to pick out the puppy formula, this is a very important part of the nutrition. Puppies have 'growing needs', so this is important.

I don't recommend table feeding your dog scraps, even on holidays. The maltese breed is prone to digestive problems and is very sensitive to this sort of sporatic feeding.

I hope I've helped,
