Are you getting a new puppy? Or is it even your first-ever dog? Puppies are great. One of your common Google searches is ‘best puppy food’, as you navigate what you want to feed your new canine friend. Here at the Innocent Hound, we’ve got all the information to understand puppy food and beyond.

Puppies need Nutrition to Grow!

As you will already appreciate, puppies grow into adult dogs. To do so, they require the proper nutrition to do this. Many dog food brands claim to have the best puppy food because it is labelled ‘puppy food’.

It is worth noting that the best dog food on the market should already be nutritionally complete. Therefore, a puppy can get all the minerals and vitamins from adult food. The only difference would be that you would feed your puppy more of the dog food than you would an adult dog.

Follow our recommended feeding guide on how much to feed your puppy and adult dog, based on their size and age, to ensure they get the right amount of food for their needs.

Is there a Desired Protein for Puppies?

Not really. If the protein comes from a high-quality source, it should provide all the necessary nutrients and be tasty. Some dog owners swear by beef, chicken, lamb, and fish dog food. However, our flavours are consumable for puppies over eight weeks old.

How about Puppy Treats?

Another one of your top Google searches will probably look like: ‘dog treats healthy’. Knowing what to give your new pooch is quite daunting, especially when it's treat time for the first time. Puppy treats for training are a great way of combining delicious snacking and knowledge acquisition.

At Innocent Hound, we make air-dried dog treats using the same air-dried method as our dog food. Our bespoke Puppy Training Treats are ideal for puppies due to their small size, meaning your puppy can consume easily once they’ve completed a task in their puppy training regime!

How about Raw Dog Food for Puppies?

If you’re new to the doggy world, then you’ll not yet appreciate the great debate that dog owners have about raw dog food. Some swear by it, some oppose it. We use raw meat in the production of our food. We air-dry it to stop the bacteria and microorganisms from breeding while retaining all the nutrients.
