Choosing the Right Puppy Food

Choosing the Right Puppy Food

Choosing the right puppy food is important to maximize the immune system, general health and prevention of growth related problems common in large breed puppies. Feed only large breed puppy food until they stop growing. The reduced calcium content of large breed puppy food slows down skeletal growth which is essential for large breed puppies in order to reduce skeletal injuries.

Food companies are not all the same and that is why I like to recommend www.dogfoodadvisor.com to compare them in order to make good decisions.

Our dogs favorite foods are Life’s Abundance Large Breed Puppy, Nutrisource Large Breed Puppy, and Diamond Naturals Large Breed puppy. All of these are high-quality puppy foods that we trust for our puppies wherever they travel.

Large Breed Puppy Food

Life’s Abundance Large Breed Puppy food is new to us but we really appreciate that our dogs love it. This dog food is made in the USA and it markets through dog breeders to their customers. It is conveniently shipped to your home through auto-ship that you can easily set up. It is the freshest dog food that we’ve found. Every bag has a date stamp that will allow you to see when it was made.

We especially like the Canned Venison and Porky Puffs for crate training. Of course, we love the Great Pyrenees Puppy food on the this dog food bag too. They sell a variety of other great products as well. Click here to buy Life’s Abundance products.

Nutrisource Large Breed Puppy food is also made in the USA in Minnesota and can be found in many stores but unfortunately isn’t shipped. Our puppies love this food. The kibble is very small which is ideal for puppies under 8 weeks old.

Diamond Naturals Large Breed Puppy is a good puppy food that our puppies have eaten well. The kibble is slightly larger and is widely found in large stores.

We want you to find the best dog food available to you no matter which dog food you choose. Take some time research these dog foods and feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

NuVet For a Healthy Puppy

NuVet For a Healthy Puppy

NuVetI am a big supporter of proper nutrition and I take vitamins personally. I try to get my family to take them as well but often find them on the floor or behind the refrigerator. We raised goats for many years and always saw a difference when we fed them supplements. Farmers routinely give vitamins and minerals to their cows, pigs, and chickens to maximize health. Chronic health problems are frequently a result of poor nutrition during conception onward as nutrients drive the expression of genes to optimize health.

Up North Pyrenees takes nutrition of our puppies seriously. All of our dogs are fed a partial raw diet along with a high quality dog food. Using locally sourced poultry and venision by products allows our dams to recover much quicker than being on kibble alone. These nutients and vitamins make their way into your puppy. Small amounts of raw venison are given to our puppies as well. However, this isn’t realistic for most people to continue with.

I’ve tried giving them many different brands of vitamins over the years but they always needed them covered in butter or wrapped in meat until we tried NuVet. They snap up NuVet Plus K9 Wafers like a piece of meat. So, we are now using NuVet Plus K9 wafers for all of our adult dogs and puppies. We start at 6 weeks old and continue throughout their life to maximize their health. NuVet is made in the USA and cold processed to retain maximum nutrition.

We are strongly recommending NuVet Plus K9 wafers for all of our Up North Pyrenees families. We recommend getting these vitamins prior to the arrival of your puppy to continue their normal daily diet. All of our customers are invited to access this product through this NuVet link

Here’s an article about the scant amount of calcium in this supplement. This amount of calcium will not harm your large breed puppy.
