Becoming a dog owner can be overwhelming, especially when choosing the right nutrition for a puppy. A Royal Canin survey of 1,023 North American puppy owners found that 62% are confused by the wide array of food options and struggle to identify essential ingredients. Moreover, 42% of respondents do not feel knowledgeable about puppy nutrition, even though 96% understand its importance.
To help, Royal Canin recommends consulting experts during the first vet visit, addressing a puppy’s unique nutritional needs, and prioritizing science-backed diets over trends. The survey revealed that 82% of owners would change their dog’s food based on expert advice, and 94% value ingredient quality and scientific evidence in their choices. Royal Canin, backed by over 50 years of research, emphasizes that proper nutrition lays a foundation for healthy development. Veterinarians encourage owners to seek guidance to ensure their puppies receive the best possible start to life.
