How/what/when to feed your puppy

First few months are the most important months for growth of a puupy and till about 4`to 5 months pups need 4to five feeds a day depending on the breed.during these months the the feed needs to be whole some and nutricious enriched with protein,carbohydrates essential fatty acids vitamins and minerals.

Home made:- this has an added advantage of being absolutely fresh if you can cook for your dog every day.broadly one may make a broth by boiling vegetables along with some bone less meat pieces throw in some soya and puleses. Vegetarian families may replace meat with either tofu or cottage cheese. One should always add a spoon full of vegetable oil and a pinch of salt to the both.

Industrial food:-its easy to dispense, wholesome, less messy and effortless to acquire. But one must make sure that the container is closed tightly as in humid and summer months they acquire fungus very quickly.

Carbohydrates (glucose and starch) provide enery.The liver and the muscles assemble them out of glycogen
