Question 1

What is the best dog food for puppies?

Accepted Answer

The best puppy food is high in protein (22-32%), contains DHA for brain development, and meets AAFCO standards for growth. Popular options include Royal Canin Puppy, Hill’s Science Diet Puppy, and Blue Buffalo Life Protection Puppy.

Question 2

Is grain-free dog food better than grain-inclusive?

Accepted Answer

Grain-free dog food is only better if your dog has a grain allergy (diagnosed by a vet). Most dogs thrive on grain-inclusive diets with digestible carbs like brown rice or oats. The FDA advises caution with grain-free diets due to potential heart risks.

Question 3

How much should I feed my dog daily?

Accepted Answer

Daily portions depend on weight, age, and activity level. For example, a 30-pound adult dog typically needs 1.5–2 cups of dry food daily. Always follow the feeding chart on your dog food’s packaging and adjust based on vet recommendations.
