What, when, how much do I feed me hungry puppy!

Remember when you were told never to feed you puppy table scraps? Always stick to dog food.
Paul Owens Quotes Veterinarian Dr. R.L. Wysong, in his wonderful book The Dog Whisperer
"How many parents would take the advice of a pediatrician who placed a package food product on the exam table and told the parent that this is the only product they should feed the child day-in, day-out for the child's lifetime..."
A good diet for your puppy suggested by Paul Owens, should include:

• Grain - cooked brown rice, oats, corn, wheat barley, rye or millet.
• Protein - boiled or broiled lean hamburger, chicken, turkey or lamb
• Vegetable - grated raw zucchini, yellow squash, carrots, steamed broccoli
  
• Oil - High-quality vegetable oil, safflower, corn sesame, sunflower or extra virgin olive oil.
• Vitamin or mineral supplement - formulated from a natural pet food company
• Enzyme Supplement
• Antioxidant supplement 1.
  

However the idea of planning a diet for your dog when you don't even plan a good diet for yourself can be daunting. In that case choose a human grade dog food and supplement it with raw vegetables, raw fruit, raw organic egg once a week.
And always have plenty of fresh, clean water available.

There is speculation that many behavior problems can be traced back to the poor nutrition in dog food. 2.

Our Vet recommended Purina Pro Plan for Gunner and gave us a sample to try it out. Gunner loves it, seems to be growing well with it and has a really nice shiny healthy coat. We give him carrots, healthy treats and chews through out the day since he loves to chew, chew, chew!
