What if the secret to your puppy's health, happiness, and longevity was already in your kitchen? Most puppies start life eating food that lists "meat by-products" and "corn syrup solids" in the first three ingredients. You deserve better — and so does your puppy.
Puppy Nutrition & Homemade Meals is the complete home-cooking guide for dog owners who want to give their puppy the strongest nutritional start possible.
Inside this book, you'll find:- 60 vet-inspired recipes — breakfasts, dinners, training treats, and growth-stage meals — each with a full Nutrition Snapshot
- A stage-by-stage feeding guide: weaning (4–6 weeks), early puppyhood (8–12 weeks), rapid growth (3–6 months), and adolescence (6–12 months)
- The Puppy Growth Timeline — a visual milestone guide showing what your puppy needs nutritionally at every stage
- A complete Safe & Unsafe Foods reference so you always know what belongs in the bowl — and what must never go near it
- Protein rotation plans, portion-sizing charts, and transition guides away from commercial kibble
- Recipe substitutions for common allergies and pantry variations
- Oscar's Reminder — a personal tip from our resident dog-food tester at the close of every chapter
This book is for you if:- You've just brought home a new puppy and want to start them right
- You're weaning a litter and need clear, safe guidance
- Your puppy has a sensitive stomach or early food sensitivities
- You've been reading kibble labels with growing unease
- You want recipes that take 15–30 minutes — not a full afternoon
