In addition to the breed of your puppy, its origin, its education system, everything that will follow its arrival in your home will be the key to its future. It is sometimes a real headache, for that our veterinarian Carmen Coopmans gives you some key principles.
Key points
An adapted diet
The first thing to do is to feed your dog the right food, i.e. food that has a good balance of omega-3 fatty acids, but above all high-quality animal proteins.
Yes, the dog is a carnivore, and vegetable proteins do not bring any benefit to the dog, except for not fulfilling the function of satiety which is however essential for the proper functioning of the body and facilitate the regulation of weight.
Such a diet already meets the main needs of the puppy. For a quality diet, we systematically recommend fresh meat products to our customers.
Don't hesitate to call on nutritionists who specialize in dogs.
Regular physical activity
Be aware that a growing dog cannot yet tolerate sustained exertion. So opt for short, regular walks rather than one long one (the same goes for older dogs). Did you know that swimming is also excellent for dogs?
A good mind
Apart from the dog's innate mind, i.e. his personality acquired at birth, the puppy will continue to forge his "character" until he is 6 months old. It is thus necessary to take care that he can develop "mentally" in good conditions by bringing him;
Any form of stress in a dog will have an impact on his mind as well as on his body. A stressed dog will accumulate toxins that will alter the proper functioning of his digestive and immune systems, and will also affect his growth.
Did you know that?
There is a link between an unbalanced intestinal flora and allergy and arthritis problems! For a healthy puppy, it is therefore essential to support his intestinal flora and his growth to ensure the best future!
Joint problems
It starts at birth
Puppies often go through a growth spurt. However, a bone growth too fast can lead to a deficiency in bone quality. The bone is then unable to produce enough cartilage, which causes joint problems.
Some young dogs even develop hip dysplasia. Therefore, it is important to accompany your puppy from birth by giving him the right food supplements.
Food supplements
The puppy's growth will determine his future health and joint capital. For this, two key points must be taken into account: the intestinal flora and the intake of nutrients essential for growth.
Our puppy growth pack effectively stimulates your puppy's metabolism during growth and provides all the nutrients needed during this crucial period. Improves bone quality, strengthens cartilage and ligaments and supports muscles.
