Any Q

choosing the right food for your puppy can be absolutely critical. Golden retriever puppies have a greater risk of developing a crippling form of hip disease… if they're fed a diet that contains too much calcium. They must eat a food that's specifically designed to be safe for large breed puppies.


What should I not feed my Golden Retriever?

Do not feed foods with Ethoxyquin, BHA, BHT, propylene glycol, or sodium nitrate/nitrite. Some of these additives are suspected of causing cancer. Look for food preserved with Tocopherols (Vitamins C and E) as well as rosemary and other herbs.

Should Golden Retrievers eat wet or dry food?

Wet food may not be a feasible diet to feed your Golden Retriever as the only source each day due to the cost of the food but wet food can be a great diet if your dog is suffering from an illness. If you have a picky eater, adding a small amount of wet food to their kibble can help entice them to eat their dry kibble.
