Article From SubmitYOURArticle.com: How Proper Nutrition Affects Puppy Housebreaking

Proper puppy nutrition is vital for the overall
health and well being of every puppy. The best
place to find comprehensive information on how to
ensure proper nutrition is the veterinarian who
regularly cares for the puppy's medical needs.
Of course, most proud new puppy owners make their
first stop at the pet store for supplies, meaning
it is often days before the new puppy will see
the veterinarian. In the meantime, the pup must
be fed and proper nutrition should start with the
first feeding.

For orphaned puppies that are being bottle fed,
commercially available puppy formulas generally
offer the best alternative to mother's milk. Cow
and goat milk should be avoided as they can cause
the puppy to have diarrhea. Diarrhea is often a
puppy housebreaking issue, making it difficult
for the owner to help the pup get outside or to a
puppy training pad before an accident occurs.

For older puppies undergoing puppy housebreaking,
proper nutrition helps minimize accidents and
puts puppies and owners on the path to
housebreaking success. Human parents of new
puppies should seek dry dog foods that are
specially formulated to provide the nutrition
growing puppies need. Dogs are carnivores, and
need diets based on meat and protein. A quick
reading of the nutrition labels makes it easy to
make a good selection. Owners should seek puppy
foods with meats listed as the first ingredients.
Many cheap commercially available dry dog foods
use corn as the main ingredient. Canines have
difficulty processing corn—which is evident
during the puppy housetraining stage when owners
regularly find themselves cleaning up accidents.
Loose stools are an indicator that something is
amiss in the nutrition department, and food
adjustments should be made.

Proper puppy nutrition not only sets the puppy up
for lifelong health, it also makes puppy
housebreaking easier and less stressful. The
more balanced the pup's diet is, the fewer
accidents the pup will have, and fewer accidents
means less stress and more opportunities to help
the puppy get outdoors or to a puppy training pad
when it is time to go potty. It is true that
nutritionally balanced puppy foods often cost a
little more than those that use corn as the
primary ingredient. However, feeding a puppy
food which uses chicken, lamb, beef, or even
kangaroo as the main ingredient, helps the pup's
body grow properly. Proper growth makes for a
healthier, happier pup, and an easier puppy
housebreaking experience.
