is this canned food okay to give to puppy?

A good dog food should support all life stages, from weaned pups to old age. Puppies and lactating females require more food per lb of body weight, not different food. Young canines in the wild need and eat the exact same food as their parents, just more of it. It is sometimes eaten first and regurgitated for them by the adults, which is simply a convenient means of carrying it back to the den. "Life Stage" pet foods is more marketing than science and I would never feed any dog a food too deficient to sustain growth in a puppy.

Depends on age of puppy. If under 15 months, I would stick to food that is specifically for puppies, as they need higher protein and caloric food until 15 months of age. However, if you just want to add a tablespoon of of the canned to the specific dry puppy food to make it tastier, that's fine.

There are directions for puppy feeding, so although I cannot read the entire label I believe all the TOTW canned foods are approved for maintenance and growth, meaning it should be a fine puppy food if you can afford it.

I don't really know "how" it can be healthy for dogs; all I know is that everything I've read says it IS! I would imagine that would be in moderation and cooked in something. Ask your veterinarian to be sure.

As long as they are not gaining weight with the amounts you are providing them you should be good to go. I add a little Wellness canned turkey to my pom and papillons meals with a little warm water and they love it. This is such a great dog food for small breeds.

I'm 200 miles away from my boyfriend's dog and the canned dog food. I've seen Newman's Own in regular grocery stores, so you can verify for yourself... Their website gives the information, as well: http://www.newmansownorganics.com/pet/products/ingredients.php

Yes this food is Miniature Schnauzer which we have and it the best dog food we have found it is ideal for small dogs, its great for his coat and his digestive system.

Nope! The food itself doesn't smell great, (no dog food does) and it might smell a little fishy, but my dogs don't smell bad at all! Since we switched to this dog food their gas doesn't smell bad like it used to either.

The pieces are very small. This was the food we feed our 13 week puppy and she has no trouble. It's great food..all I our dogs like it (from the puppy to our 15 pound cockapoo).

It has a very small amount. I don't think it's enough to matter as far as dietary needs/restrictions are concerned. Best thing would probably be to ask your vet about it. Hope this answer helps.

It takes my little Shih Tzu about 4 days to finish a can. When I open the can I scoop all of the food into a plastic Tupperware container with a tight fitting lid and keep it in the fridge. I've never had any issues with it going bad and she has no problem eating ever.

No I wouldn't as there is alcohol in it and your dog wound not be too happy with the strong taste. coconut oil is good for dogs breath and very palatable and safe.

Dry by itself is all you need. It is complete nutrition. I used to mix canned with dry years ago until Vet told me that canned causes tartar and gum disease. The dogs love it as it is.

Thanks for asking the question! It's the exact question that I was going to ask myself. I have large breed puppies and I was wondering if this was an all stage food, suitable for large breed puppies.

I have honestly never tasted this food myself, however my dogs have been eating it for years and seem to like it fine. This IS great dog food though, and my dogs are incredibly healthy. If you want your dog to eat the food, I would "jazz it up" with some yogurt, coconut oil, or my pups personal favorite mushroom gravy. For the mushroom gravy, I mix MUSH (link below) with a little water and put it on their food; they go crazy for it. http://www.amazon.com/MUSH-Medicinal-Mushroom-Blend-gram/dp/B0048Z9DSS/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1397065804&sr=8-7&keywords=mush

Sorry, I looked all over the can carefully and could not find that info. If I remember right, pet food products are not required to furnish that info. We have a very large standard poodle who has bloat problems so we only feed him grain free food....dry and canned mixed together. We have been using it for several years and have had no problems.

I would recommend it for healthy joint growth and supplement. We adopted a 7mo old German shepherd/Rottweiler mix that we bought this for and we're happy with it thus far. We also feed a high-quality food.

I've always sprinkled it on the food. If you give dry kibble I use a spray bottle, one spray to the kibble then sprinkle on top. Canned food, just sprinkle on top.
