Complete Guide to Raising a Puppy! Tips from a Seasoned Pet Parent

🤔 The excitement of bringing home a puppy quickly fades when new owners face reality: Why does my puppy keep having soft stools? What if they get picky during food transitions? How to boost immunity during vaccination? As a veteran puppy mom, I’m sharing all my hard-earned tips!

➡ Diet Guide for New Puppies (see Figure 2)

1️⃣ First Challenge: Transitioning to New Food

👉 When switching puppy food, I always check the ingredient list. Pro Plan Puppy Food uses 72-hour colostrum paired with natural dietary fiber, which 实测 (clinically proven) improves intestinal flora stability by 77%. When my puppy transitioned, their stool went from runny to formed in just 4 days—no more endless bathroom cleanups!

2️⃣ Immune Window: Protection Strategies

📍 Double-duty nutrition & immunity: Colostrum’s immunoglobulin IgA (the same defense as mother’s milk) activates intestinal immunity. Pro Plan delivers 3X more IgA to the puppy’s gut, like installing an intestinal shield.
📍 Avoid over-cleaning: Skip disinfectants on the kennel—exposure to environmental bacteria actually promotes immune development.
📍 No pet salon baths: Bathing before full vaccinations is risky; use dry shampoo + wet towel instead.

👉 When I took my puppy for an antibody test, the vet praised their strong vaccine efficacy. Checking the feeding records, it coincided with them eating Pro Plan colostrum food. With colostrum plus antioxidant vitamins C & E, their immunity skyrocketed—no wonder they rarely got sick!

3️⃣ Bone Development

📍 Scientific calcium-phosphorus ratio: Supports bone & tooth development, paired with vitamin D for better calcium absorption.
📍 Control weight gain: Small breeds should gain ≤500g/month; excess weight strains joints.
📍 No stairs before 3 months: Carry them up/down until fully grown!

👉 My puppy’s endless energy comes from proper early nutrition. Pro Plan Puppy Food publicly lists 17 visible nutritional guarantees—big brands deliver! It’s nutritionally balanced and exceeds AAFCO standards:

  • Scientific calcium-phosphorus ratio + vitamin D supports bone/joint health for non-stop puppy energy
  • DHA + vitamin A enhance vision & learning ability for a smarter pup

✨ Nourish wisely from day one—your puppy’s health starts with the right nutrition!
