Feeding your new Golden Retriever puppy

Feeding your new Golden Retriever puppy
The best way to introduce or change your puppy’s food is to do it slowly.  Mix his old food (samples enclosed with the North Star Golden Retriever Puppy Care Packet) with his new food over a period of several days.  If you change his food to quickly, your puppy may experience diarrhea, which could dehydrate your puppy.  If you suspect that your puppy has become dehydrated, consult your veterinarian right away.  When choosing a new food for your puppy, a “Large Breed- Puppy Food” should be selected.  It is best to avoid any foods with corn fillers (this is just a filler; hence less nutritious and more poop to clean up).   There are many good choices in large-breed dog food on the market today.  Your veterinarian will be able to recommend the right food for your new puppy.  You may also consider going with a “raw food diet” with your Golden Retriever.  If you choose to go this route however, you must stick with it for your dog’s entire lifetime.  Once you get started on this it would be too big of a shock to your dog’s system to ever go back to a kibbles diet.  There is a lot of information on the web about this method with both pros and cons.
