Your New Dog - The First Steps

It is easy to get commercial food for your Golden Retriever, but they lack in proper nutrients and sometimes too heavy on preservatives and chemicals.  The ideal diet and feed is to use a combination approach of both commercial food and fresh people foods.  It is best buy commercial foods that have properly labeled its contents and less on chemicals so that your Golden gets a better diet although it lacks nutrients and vitamins that fresh food has.  Golden Retrievers love fresh food as well, as they can smell it a mile away. Select commercial foods that offer your Golden good amount of proteins and vitamins, although fresh food contains far more essential sources.  Chicken and meat for instance, have far more protein and minerals than any type of commercial dog food.  Fish is another great choice, as it contains a lot of the protein your dog needs to maintain a healthy brain. 

All dogs are well within the capacity of staying healthy, although you need to provide them with the minerals they need.  Golden Retrievers love people food, and they also love variety.  To be on the safe side, you should give your Golden a little bit of everything.  When you design the diet for your growing Golden Retriever, you should always make sure to include animal protein.  Without animal protein, your dog will find himself literally struggling to stay healthy.

To keep your Golden Retriever healthy, it is very important that he gets quality nutrition.  If you monitor his diet and know exactly what you are feeding him, he should remain in his weight class.  Sometimes this can be hard to help though, especially if your Golden starts to develop allergies to a certain type of food.
