What should I feed my 1-month-old German Shepherd puppy for growth?

You should feed him puppy replacer milk until the age of 6-8 months, you can start some wet puppy food as well in about a week from now. he needs to eat 4-6 times a day at the moment. you don't need to give him any supplements as non of those have been proven to prevent hip dysplasia.

At a month of age, Malia is just starting to eat solid foods and shouldn't be away from her mother yet (unless orphaned). I would find a wet food or puppy starter food that can be mixed in with kibble, or mix in Malia's puppy formula with it to make a slurry that is easy to eat. Any large breed puppy diet should be fine to give as long as it is complete and balanced. Grain-free isn't really necessary unless there is an allergy to the food, but allergies are not common in a one month old puppy.

Hello. This may be a pretty low quality food. And adding unnecessary supplements may do more harm than good. You are much better off feeding a good quality large breed puppy food such as the ones made by Purina, Science Diet & Royal Canin. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

You will need to look at the bag's label which gives you a daily amount to feed. Divide this into four portions and feed those over the day. The back of the bag has the amount to feed at the respective weight.

Commercial dog foods are required to contain all necessary vitamins and minerals and Gunner should not need an additional vitamin supplement. I'd recommend purchasing a high quality puppy food intended for large breed dogs and using the feeding recommendations on the bag as a general guide for how much to feed in a day. Many dogs need less food than what is suggested on the bag, and if he doesn't finish the food offered in 15 minutes you don't need to coax him. It is important for large breed puppies to stay lean when growing for appropriate growth of the bones and joints.

Puppies are usually weaned off of Mom around this age so yes he can survive just fine. He should be eating puppy food since he likely has all his puppy teeth, just double check since some pets are late bloomers. I would suggest a high quality dog food such as Hill’s Science Diet, Royal Canin, or Natural Balance. You should feed him three times a day and the amount of food fed should be based off of the guidelines right on the bag of the brand you choose. You can go with a canned food for now then switch to dry (if desired) when she is around 7-8 weeks of age. Best of luck with your cute puppy. Take care!

At one month of age, Annie is still too young for vaccines. Her first series of vaccines should be given at 6-8 weeks of age, and she should get the DHPPi combination shot. This protects against distemper, hepatitis, parvo, and parainfluenza. You should make an appointment with your vet when she is that age to get her vaccines. As for feeding her, I do not recommend making her a vegetarian. Dogs do benefit from meat. She should be fed a puppy formulated food, not human food, in order to grow properly. Brands of puppy food I recommend are Royal Canin, Hill's Science diet, Purina ProPlan, and Iams. I hope this helps!
