What Do You Need for Bringing Home a New Puppy?
Bringing home a new puppy is one of life's greatest joys — and one of its most overwhelming moments. At Holistic Pet Cuisine in Boca Raton, we've helped thousands of new puppy parents get started on the right foot with nutrition, supplements, and supplies that set puppies up for a lifetime of health.
Nutrition First
The most important decision you'll make for your new puppy is what to feed them. The first year of life sets the foundation for lifelong health.
- Raw or gently cooked food — the gold standard for puppy nutrition; supports brain development, immune function, and healthy growth
- High-quality kibble — if raw isn't an option, choose a brand with whole food ingredients and no fillers
- Avoid corn, wheat, soy, and by-products — common allergens and low-quality fillers
- Large breed puppies — need controlled calcium and phosphorus ratios to support proper bone development
Essential Supplements for Puppies
- Probiotics — supports gut health and immune development from day one
- Omega-3 fatty acids — critical for brain and eye development
- Digestive enzymes — helps puppies fully absorb nutrients during rapid growth
Dental Health from the Start
- Start brushing teeth early — puppies accept it much more readily than adult dogs
- Provide appropriate chews to support teething and dental development
