Puppy Kibble - 6 Tips To Finding The Best!By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Candice_Lee]Candice Lee
Here are a few tips on how to find the best puppy kibble for your new dog!
1. Always feed a puppy kibble that has a good quality protein source. Is it animal or vegetable protein? Animal protein is by far the best. Dogs metabolize animal protein much better. The best animal protein source is chicken meal. It has less water in it than regular chicken meat which means it will be more concentrated and supply sufficient protein to your dog.
2. Find a puppy kibble food with NO by products. Have you ever wondered why they call it by- products? By products are all the left overs like chicken feet, wings, intestines.......well you get the picture. This is a very inferior protein and can cause problems for your puppy.
3. Stay away from a food that has corn gluten, wheat gluten, corn or soy in it. These can be very difficult for a puppy to digest. They can also lead to allergies in your puppy.
4. Look for health promoting ingredients like bacteria cultures, antioxidants, and probiotics. These will help to give your puppy a healthy GI tract. Puppies with a healthy GI tract will develop a strong immune system that will help keep them resistant to future health issues.
5. Look at the ingredient list and see what the first 5 ingredients are. They will be the indicator as to whether you have a good quality puppy kibble or not. A good food should not have more than 2 grains listed in the first 5 ingredients. Protein should be the main ingredient.
6. Don't be fooled by mainstream dog food companies that say you need a special food just for your puppy. If the ratios on the nutrients are correct, a puppy should be able to eat the same dog food as an adult dog. Always stay with a high quality dog food.
Did you know that dogs fed a high quality food live almost 5 years longer than dogs fed a lesser quality food?
