    Puppies are just like human babies in one respest: good nutrition is vital to their well-being.

    Choosing a puppy can be a very difficult process. Dr. John Sturrock offers some valuable advice.

    Choosing a puppy

    • Puppies that come from private families tend to be healthier than those from kennels.

    • Runny noses and watery eyes are bad symptoms.

    • Pink gums mean healthy teeth.

    • Puppies should be happy and playful.

    Maintenance

    • Three to four feedings a day of any good-quality puppy food

    • Lots of love and attention
