Factors that influence a puppy's dietary needs include:
* Breed: Different breeds have different growth rates and nutritional requirements.
* Age: Puppies have different needs at different ages.
* Activity level: Active puppies need more calories than less active ones.
* Health conditions: Some puppies may have specific dietary needs due to health conditions.
A veterinarian can assess your puppy's individual needs and recommend a food that meets those needs.
Here are some general tips for choosing puppy food:
* Look for a food specifically formulated for puppies. These foods are designed to meet the unique nutritional needs of growing puppies.
* Choose a high-quality food. Look for foods with real meat as the first ingredient and avoid foods with fillers, artificial colors, and flavors.
* Consider the puppy's breed and size. Larger breeds may need a different food than smaller breeds.
* Talk to your veterinarian about feeding schedules and portion sizes.
Remember, your veterinarian is the best resource for determining the best diet for your puppy.
