A new puppy is just like a human baby, he has a talent for getting himself into scrapes and a natural instinct to put everything in his mouth. Puppies and dogs are natural scavengers and they just love eating, whether they have been fed or not. One popular target is the waste bin in your kitchen, the smell of scraps of food is an overpowering temptation. If you are out at work all day he will find a way getting to those scraps of food.
Waste bins that are full of empty cans and plastic packaging can be dangerous and your new pet will not realise the dangers. If you let your puppy start this routine you will find he continues to scavenge when he is an adult dog. Nutrition in the form of quality pet food with the best meat products, good carbohydrates and added minerals and vitamins will help in promoting your pet’s strong body.
A puppy’s body grows quickly in the first few weeks of his life; therefore his pet diet has to consist of quality food that will fulfil its role in keeping his bones and muscles strong, and in good working order. Some important factors to consider when looking at dog nutrition and a pet diet is the size of the breed of dog, their environment and how much exercise they will need to keep up with their growth and increased energy levels.
At Hills Pets we realise that each puppy has individual needs especially in the first few months of their life. Science Plan for puppies was developed to meet all the requirements needed for a puppy to grow up to be a strong and healthy adult dog. Nutrition and portion sizes are evaluated on our packaging to help owners relax and have peace of mind that his puppy is eating balanced food which is tailored to a puppy's needs.
