I’m trying to decide which food to feed my puppy. I’ve not got the puppy yet, she’s 6 weeks old so a couple of weeks. Obviously I understand I’ll feed it what the breeder was feeding to start. I don’t want to feed raw.
I was planning to feed kibble because my sister feeds her dog kibble and they take a portion of the daily allowance each morning to use as treats for training throughout the day. This seems to work really well, their dog is very well trained and not at all fat. Also enables them to use a higher value treat when needed.
But as I’ve been researching kibble I’ve come across Butternut Box which do the fresh food and then also Pure Pet Food which is freeze dried and the reconstituted with water before feeding. These claim to be more nutritious than kibble. They are more expensive, I can afford them but I’m just thinking about value for for money. Are they worth the extra expense?
Also if I did go down the fresh food route what would I use for treats? Presumably kibble would then be very boring in comparison so may not be enough for training? Does anyone have experience with this?
Could I do a mix of the fresh with kibble? How do you then know how much to feed?
I’m probably way overthinking this but I’m so excited to finally be getting my puppy, I just want what’s best for her.
