Not only does puppy food provide nutrients and enjoyment for young dogs, it is also an excellent training tool. Before you start teaching your four-legged friend specific commands with treats, you can use meal times to foster patience and discipline in your pup. The best way to do this is through fixed feeding times, during which your dog must practise patience while you prepare its food. This not only teaches it discipline, but also that you are the authority figure in control of the food, so, for the sake of education, do not give in to its begging and crying, and resist the temptation to offer the dog your own leftovers. Sooner or later, inappropriate nutrition can lead to digestive problems and other diseases. To make it easier for your pup to wait, you can distract it by playing or by only placing the feeding bowl in sight at feeding times.
Carefully selected puppy food that covers your dog’s nutritional needs in the form of meat, fish, vegetables, fruit and herbs and is also tasty can be found in the Maxi Zoo range. The online shop offers a large selection of puppy foods which you can order directly online.
