How to raise Golden Retriever puppies? The Golden Retriever puppies have just been born, and their bodily functions have not fully matured, just like toddlers, so when feeding, be sure not to let the puppies eat chicken bones, bones, or sharp foods like ribs. If these foods break in the throat, it may be okay, but if they pass into the dog’s body, they can puncture the puppy’s stomach and intestines, which threatens the health of the Golden Retriever puppies. Therefore, for these puppies with not fully developed intestines, it is best to feed dog food.
Secondly, pay attention not to let Golden Retriever puppies eat leftover human food. It is important to know that dogs’ nutritional needs are completely different from humans. Using human recipes to decide the dog’s food not only wastes time but also causes nutritional imbalances in the dog. Therefore, it is best to rely mainly on dog food, which is scientifically formulated to meet canine nutritional needs and is easier to digest. Additionally, statistics show that dogs eating dog food have a lifespan more than a third longer than those not eating dog food. Also, the smell of the dog's body, excrement, and breath is much reduced, which is very helpful for household hygiene and environment.
Finally, it should be noted not to give Golden Retriever puppies snacks within half an hour before meals, or it will affect their appetite. Moreover, if they obey other training, small amounts of snacks can be given as encouragement.
The above is all about how to raise Golden Retriever puppies. Dog lovers must pay attention to these three points to ensure the puppies grow happily and healthily. But do not forget, after eating, be sure to take them for a walk; otherwise, they might become overweight~
