Apart from training methods, there are still other things to consider when having a Puggle dog, health and nutrition. You just can’t allow him to eat and give him any food that you desire him to eat. Feeding your dog with food that is specially made for them is one of the most important contributing factors in its physical and mental growth.

What is the right dog food for my puppy? That is probably one of the questions playing around every dog owner’s mind. There are many recommendations on what food is best for dogs. Most experts suggest homemade diets especially to animals with multiple food allergies. The contents of these homemade diets depend on your budget, its availability and what your dog wants. You can go for all natural diet which consists primarily of raw meat, vegetarian diets consisting only of nutritionally balanced ingredients or the mixtures that contain ingredients such as brown rice, brown pasta, meat, eggs and vegetables.

Homemade diets are ideal foods to feed your pet. But it is not ideal when you are a busy person and have no time to prepare a nutritious meal for your adorable Puggle dogs. This is when commercial dog foods come in handy. You can always get one from your local dog food stores or grocery. Commercial dog food is categorized into three types: dry dog food, wet dog food and fresh dog food.

Dry dog food not just benefits your dog’s stomach but also his mouth condition. Chewing dry dog food helps prevent tartar buildup and other more serious mouth issues. They are also less likely to spoil quickly compared to canned food.

The other type of commercial dog food is the wet or canned food. This type of dog food is primarily higher in moisture compared to dry dog food. There is no question with regards to the sterility of this food because it is already sterilized after being canned. It is also higher in protein or fat than dry dog food. However, canned food is usually expensive, dry food is more budget friendly.

Recently, fresh dog food made its way into the American market. This dog food uses pasteurization instead of the traditional extrusion method used to process other pet foods. Fresh dog foods are vulnerable to bacteria thus must be stored in refrigerators to prevent spoilage.

Whether dry or canned, these dog foods are always essential to our dogs. What every dog owner should remember when choosing a pet food is the list of ingredients. Make sure that what you chose contains all the essential nutrients, such as fats, carbohydrates and protein needed to promote good body functions.
