El German shepherd it is a dog that can be very affectionate and social. He loves to play, learn new things, and above all, be with his family, so he is the ideal animal for any family with or without children that likes to go out for long walks.
However, when we decide to bring one home one of the most important things we have to do throughout our lives is feed it. So if you don't know how to feed a german shepherd puppyThen we will give you the keys so that your new friend has an optimal development.
Give him a quality diet
The German Shepherd, like all dogs, is an animal carnivorous, that is, its protein source comes from the meat of another animal. This is very important to know, since today most dog food contains a significant amount of cereals, which the dog not only does not need but can also cause food allergies by not being able to digest them well.
To avoid problems, it is highly recommended to give or a I think of high quality such as Acana, Orijen, Applaws, Taste of the Wild, Alpha Spirit or True Instinct; or give him a much more natural food How is the Yum, Naku diet, or the Barf diet.
Make sure he eats the amount he needs
If you give it I think, this will be easy for you to do, since the recommended amount will be indicated on the bag; However, if you give Barf the amount to give will be the following:
- Up to 3 months, he must be given food equivalent to 8% of his weight.
- From 4 to 6 months, the equivalent of 6% of its weight.
- From 7 months onwards, the equivalent of 3-4% of their weight.
But it is important that you know that this should be taken as a guide. If your puppy is hungry, give him until he is satisfied otherwise you could start to lose weight.
With these tips, your little furry will grow up healthy and strong 🙂.
It is not easy to have a dog at home, but with love and dedication you give the best of you for that puppy that will be your companion in the future, his food always the best, his medical appointments, his personal care (bath, cleaning his feet , brush it,) anyway so many things, I had a litter of Siberian and Samoyed huskies, but they are already in heaven.
Purebred dogs must know how to educate them, feed them, be one of the family, take care of them in their hygiene, take them to their doctor when required,

Hello Nestor.
You can add a tablespoon of vinegar, or give him another type of food, such as natural meat.
