| Supplements & Foods Should my baby be taking any supplements? Also, I read what foods you all feed your babies, but many of them are not specifically puppy food. Is this not necessary? He is 16 weeks old now. |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Some people supplement with Fish Oil/Omegas for their babies, but it's not a requirement. What's probably most important for your baby at such a young age is that you choose a food with the best possible ingredients, fewest allergens, fewest fillers, fewest by-products. That'll help get a pup off to a good start. Some foods are listed as "All Life Stages", meaning you can feed it all their lives. Other foods are formulated a bit more specifically (but are really only marginally different, usually). What are you feeding now? Some good brands are Orijen, Evangers, Natures Variety. These would be found at a premium pet food store.

| He is eating Wellness Puppy right now, but I am just wondering if there are substantially better options. |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Wellness is a good overall food . I'd say the ones I named are step up from that, but if he's doing well...maybe you don't want to change anything. He sure is a cutie, from your avatar .
