Nutrition and feeding
Choosing a diet for your dog may seem overwhelming at times - for a good reason! There are hundreds of dog food brands, and you want to do what is best for your dog.
If you’re not sure where to get started, it’s always a good idea to ask your breeder what food they were feeding your dog before you got them — they may even send some food home with you. Also ask your veterinarian about what type of nutrition would be good for your puppy.
At Good Dog, we think the best thing to do is to make informed choices. To do so, it helps to understand what dogs need nutritionally to thrive, and to be aware of what controversies and questions exist regarding different types of diets. It’s also important to feed your dog food that they enjoy. We’ve put together this list of balanced, evidence-based resources that we hope will help you navigate the pet food aisles (whether virtual or brick-and-mortar)!
When you complete a full dog payment through Good Dog with Protection & Support, you get free access (a $235 value) to our online Puppy Training Program. We developed this world-class puppy program with trainers, and behaviorists with over 60 years of combined experience. The program includes online courses, live coaching, and detailed guides to help you raise a healthy, happy dog. Our Puppy Training Program includes an entire course on nutrition to help you learn how to design a healthy diet for your puppy.
