Our little pup is due to join us shortly.
We are just stocking up on everything we need at the moment and I'm panicking over food and treats.
I feel like I've read previously about some dog treats sold in shops not being ok for dogs. And issues with hides and different toys etc?
Surely if I'm buying at the likes of pets at home anything I get is going to be ok for the dog? Is it then just a matter of how nutritious it is?
Or do I nedd to be careful still?
On that point does anyone have any recommendations for puppy treats? I'm worried, aside from assuming they're all at least edible for pup, that some of them may be the equivalent of total junk food?
We were planning on cutting a few of his meals out (we've been told to give him 4 small meals a day) and using some of his 'meal allowance' instead for treats - so I'm just looking for a small sized, nutritious kibble at the moment still.
But then I think we may need some higher value treats too - any recommendations? Again is this something I can buy at a pet store?
And how do you work out reduction of regular meals to accommodate for extra treats - particularly at this stage where obviously we havr lots of positive reinforcement and rewards.
I'm conscious not to overfeed and make the poor thing sick! Or underfeed him my being too strict
