Puppy nutrition in the first months

Hi everyone! We recently brought home our little Labrador puppy, he’s almost two months old, and I’m a bit lost about what to feed him. We’ve had adult dogs before, and I was used to giving them regular dry food, but puppies seem to need something special. I tried mixing dry and wet food, but sometimes he refuses to eat, or he eats too quickly and then throws up a little. I’ve also read that it’s important to give vitamins and watch the calcium intake, but I’m afraid of overdoing it. I really want him to grow healthy and energetic, and I’m curious how you handled feeding during the first months of a puppy’s life.

Choose food specifically formulated for puppies that is easily digestible and nutritious. Divide meals into smaller portions throughout the day to prevent overeating slope run. Supplement with vitamins and calcium as directed by your veterinarian; do not increase the dosage without consulting a veterinarian. Always monitor your puppy's reaction to make appropriate adjustments.
