Here's why:
* Breed: Different breeds have different growth rates and caloric needs.
* Activity Level: An active puppy needs more food than a less active one.
* Health: A puppy with any health issues may require a special diet.
* Food Type: The type of food you choose (dry, wet, homemade) will impact how much you need to feed.
Your veterinarian can:
* Determine the correct amount of food based on your puppy's specific needs.
* Help you choose the right type of food.
* Advise on feeding schedules and how to monitor your puppy's growth.
Remember: Overfeeding can lead to obesity and health problems, while underfeeding can stunt growth. Always follow your veterinarian's advice for the best possible nutrition for your puppy.
