How to feed an 8-week old Golden Retriever
Feeding an early aged Golden Retriever pup is not just a simple task of “Open up and say ‘Ahhh’”. To be a caring owner or parent for this puppy, a detailed routine should be laid out by the breeder for their healthy growth as well as the commitment. When you take home your puppy, don’t immediately switch the type of feed. A transition of 25% new mix with 75% of the old and progress until it is the opposite with 75% of the new one.
This will allow their sensitive stomachs to adjust. Since the pup is growing it will actually need twice the nutrients than an adult. By 8 weeks, the puppy can be given a dry food diet with warm water added to the mix for moisture to help them slurp it up. Nutrition experts highly recommend a thrice a day consistent routine until they reach six months. If the routine is followed, the puppy’s stomach will be well adjusted for new things.
