Answer: Not a good idea. The ingredients aren't well suited for dogs or puppies. If you have a healthy puppy, feeding them human baby food diet isn't a good way to introduce them to the world of food. At the very least it can cause an stomach upset and diarrhea.

Depends on the dog. Working dog food usually has a higher percentage of protein and often very little to no grain or cereal, which is much better than the majority of commercial dog foods. However, some dogs become hyper and over-active due to the protein levels so need to be switched to a food that has a slightly lower percentage of protein. Other dogs, however, thrive on working dog food.

Not bad as such, but it might be too rich in calories and certain nutrients to be an ideal everyday food.

What is a puppy mill?

Puppy Mills is an awful place were they breed female dogs and sell their puppies at a pet store. Inside a puppy mill the dogs there live in bad conditions. Wired cages are stacked on top of each other. So all the dogs droppings fall through the cage land on other dogs and leave an awful odor. Plus since there isn't a solid flooring the dogs paws are swollen or cut from getting stuck and biting their paws off to free it. Some dogs haven't been outside for their whole live. To stand on solid ground or to run through the grass. Dogs at a puppy mill have cuts from other dogs, rotted teeth, and matted, bad smelling fur. Written by Annesa


What is the difference between adopting a dog and buying a dog?

It is FAR better to adopt a pet than to buy one. When you adopt, you save a life. Most adopted pets have much fewer health issues. You might think that you could only get a purebred puppy from a breeder, but there are a lot of purebreds waiting for homes in the shelter. Mixed-breed dogs make wonderful pets, too. They on average have fewer health issues and live longer. So to sum things up, you should definitely adopt one at your local shelter.
