Maybe the day will come when breeders, and pet stores will provide you with the equivalent of a Car Fax when you shop for a puppy, but that is not the case today. The safe bet is to buy from a Breeder, but it's no guarantee that the mother was properly fed and supplemented, so that her milk provided your puppy with a strong immune system. The importance of real food and supplements is just as likely to be overlooked by a Breeder as is by the majority of MDs and Veterinarians in this country.
Pet Store and Rescue Facility pups (and kittens) are among the most poorly cared for. Wild (feral) dogs scavenge for food. Young feral females are often impregnated long before they are fully developed. And, they often are reimpregnated while still nursing a litter. They must feed themselves, which means scavenging for discarded food leftovers. Scavenged food usually contains maggots, and harbors some nasty bacterium that causes diarrhea, dehydration and a myriad of diseases.
Since the mid-1980s, families and empty nesters have been buying Pet Store Puppies at a pace that has turned breeding facilities (puppy mills) into Big Business. Even though you may spend a lot of money for your new puppy, price is no guarantee of health! Most of these puppies come from Puppy Mills, where the living conditions are highly stressful to the mothers. This stress is passed genetically onto the puppies; affecting their disposition, personality and health. Mothers are often over bred, with no regard to replacing the nutrients lost to the prior litter. Puppy Mills also cut corners when it comes to food costs. Manufactured dog foods, despite label claims, are sorely lacking in nutritional value, and especially in human-grade animal protein that should make up the majority of a dogs diet.
Every aspect of a Puppy Mill is stressful; living conditions, food, sickness, and premature weaning. This is followed by, how pups are handled when shipped to pet stores all over the country. They are stacked in cages, given little food or water, no light, extreme weather conditions, lying in the own urine and feces for days, listening to other pups crying in fear. Once they arrive at the pet store, they are exposed to a whole new set of stresses. If they adjust the stress begins again when you take them home.
All the stress results in diarrhea. Puppies are usually stabilized with antibiotics before they are put on display in the store. But the excitement of meeting you and your family is more enough to cause diarrhea. No need to panic. The last thing they need is more antibiotics or steroids. You can quickly and safely quell diarrhea by administering a few doses of soil-based probiotic organisms (SBOs). SBOs are the organisms that animals eat when when the pull at grass. They instinctively know SBOS are beneficial for their digestive system.
Everyone wants to know What is The Best Food to Feed a Puppy? To answer that question, you need to understand a few things: 90% of your puppys total immune system is located in their digestive system. By providing the nutrients and supplements any puppy needs, you can supercharge their immune system and thus prevent most health crisis from developing later in life. Reinforcing the need to supplement the digestive system throughout your dogs life; 80% of all chronic disease is caused by an unhealthy digestive system.
Manufactured dog food lacks human-grade animal protein and digestive supplements any dog needs to grow up healthy, and stay healthy. People who have switched to a meat-based diet report improvements in health, energy, and behavior: however, no matter what diet you choose, it needs to be supplemented with digestive enzymes, soil-based probiotic organisms (SBOs) and a complement of omega 3-6 oils; all are essential to develop and sustain a strong digestive/immune system.
Much of the responsibility for the health of your puppy depends on you. The internet provides a wealth of information, as well as disinformation. It should not be hard to connect the dots between manufactured pet food convenience and the millions of dogs today suffering from poor health. Unless you personally know that the Breeder has a working knowledge of what the right foods and supplements to feed the mother and the pup are, you would be better off to avoid getting a puppy until you do.
