Premium pet food tends to have higher nutritional
value. In particular, foods such as Eukanuba and Iams. This means you can generally feed your dog a smaller amount of food. Also, they tend to be highly digestible which means that there is less waste to clean up in the yard. For these two reasons, many people feed their pets premium foods over grocery store foods. |

Grocery store food the first ingredient is "corn" which is a filler and
runs through a dog quicker (more waste to clean up) and they tend to need more of it. A good premium food the first ingredient is "meat". |

The best method for feeding your dog is a scheduled feeding. Scheduled feeding gives the dog food at set times of the day, and then takes it away after a period of time, such as a half hour. In most cases, you are best off feeding your puppy on a schedule. This better controls elimination when trying to housetrain. In addition, many dogs will overeat and become overweight on a free-feed (dry food left at all time) schedule. |

Keep your puppy on a premium puppy food until they are at least 1 year of age, and feed once in the morning and feed again before 6:00 p.m. Also provide fresh water at all times for puppy. |
