Among all animals, it can be said that dogs, particularly puppies, are one of the most "spoiled" pets because they are pampered as if they are an actual member of their caretaker’s family. They are always kept in a comfortable phase and are given all the love and attention they need. Above all, they even have dog foods available in the market, made to fit the nutritional requirements of a good puppy food.
However, the market is saturated with different brands of dog foods, all of which claim to give your canine pets the best nutrition they can have. Knowing what brand to trust is already a daunting task. Moreover, knowing the nutritional content of dog foods can already be a big challenge. According to experts, understanding puppy food is very important because this is designed for the nutritional needs of young and growing dogs. Puppies need double nutritional requirements daily compared to a mature dog. It is important that we consider nutritional needs necessary for the development of our puppies’ muscles, bones, and internal organs.
Pet MD reported that a well-balanced puppy food should have nutrients that a young dog needs in the process of its growth and development. These nutrients will eventually be unnecessary as it grows bigger. To achieve a strong physique, puppy food must have 30 percent protein, as well as the vitamins and minerals, and high-fat content for energy- which is not needed by adult dogs.
Last year, Pet Food Industry reported the bullish growth of investments towards pet food manufacturing. It has recorded a double-digit growth in the last four or five years. These digits also serve as a mark for dog food developers to continue innovating their products.
There are also foods ate by humans that promote good health and nutrition for our dogs as well. These people foods include banana, rutabaga, sweet potato, flaxseed, and yogurt. These are said to boost growth and nutrition because they contain similar nutrients with puppy food.
