Canned food
* Pros:
* More palatable than dry food

It is important to choose a high-quality dog food, regardless of whether you choose dry or canned. Look for a food that is made with real meat or fish as the first ingredient, and avoid foods that contain fillers like corn, wheat, or soy. You should also make sure that the food is appropriate for your puppy's age and size.
If you are not sure which type of food is best for your puppy, talk to your veterinarian.
Here are some additional tips for feeding your puppy:
* Start by feeding your puppy small meals several times a day. Puppies have small stomachs, so they need to eat frequently.
* Gradually increase the amount of food you feed your puppy as they grow.
* Make sure your puppy has access to fresh water at all times.
* Avoid giving your puppy table scraps or other human food. This can lead to nutritional imbalances and obesity.
* Talk to your veterinarian about your puppy's nutritional needs.
