The most critical period of time in a dog's life occurs during the
first year of his life. Growth rate alone is not the PRIMARY measure
of good nutrition. Many other very important psychological changes are
also occuring both internally and externally, and Bil-Jac Puppy Food
addresses these changes better than any other puppy food on the market.
All developmental health factors must be considered when raising healthy
puppies.
You can be certain that adequate calcium and phosphorus are present
in Bil-Jac Puppy Food to properly nourish your puppies. Some companies
use lower density products, allowing a puppy to eat greater quantities,
yet avoid over-weight conditions. Due to the great demands for quality
protein in the early growth stages of a puppy, we are concerned about
the possibility of creating a shortage of these vital nutrients which
are absolutely necessary for good muscle tone and a healthy pancreas.
Other people advocate the feeding of lower quality food to limit puppy
growth. For good nutrition both internally and externally, we are wary
of these approaches.
One of the vital factors in the early weeks of puppy growth is the
development of the pancreas. Good nutrition plays a major role in developing
a healthy pancreas and has a lasting effect on the well being of the
puppy. Failure to pay attention to this necessary part of nutrition
can result in problems for a young animal for the remainder of its life.
Development of a healthy pancreas involves providing high quality meat
protein that has been carefully processed to avoid damage from excessive
heat in processing. Proper formulation with high quality, fresh meat
proteins that have been selected to provide an ideal balance of amino
acids is essential.
Bil-Jac Puppy Food has been carefully balanced to provide the optimum
in mineral balance and protein balance for your growing puppy. The key
in feeding large breed animals is the proper regulation of food intake.
Over feeding a large animal can result in rapid growth and possible
skeletal problems. Carefully monitor food intake with activity, size
and conditioning. Regular weighing of puppies is a good guide to proper
quantities of food to feed.
In maintaining an ideal weight and development rate, one should always
go by the eye and the hand. If you can feel the ribs and backbone while
visually they are not easily observed, this is probably the ideal. If
the puppy is too fat, one cannot easily feel the backbone nor ribs.
If both the backbone and the ribs are easily discernable visually, then
the puppy is too thin.
Proper nutrition of your puppy depends on feeding the right quantity
of the highest quality food available in the proper - that's Bil-Jac
Puppy Food.
