Nutrition for breeding stock

1. There is no single dog food that is the best for all dogs and all puppies.
2. Do some independent research on your breeding stock and puppies.
3. Look for high quality dog food on the food label:
Guraanteed Analysis - protein at least 30%, fat at least 18%, Vit E, Vit C and Omega Fatty Acids. A proper ratio and amount of OFA is a critcial component of an optimal diet.
4. REference to AAFCO feeding trials done and approved by American Assocaition of Feed Control Officials.

Gestation, nursing and the rapid growth phase of puppies are critical times. High quality nutrition, exercise and optimum body weight ( a bit of fat padding, hour-glass figure when seen from the top, behind rib cage at flank)>
