Colostrum for dogs - La Belle's Premier Select Canine Colostrum Formula

Colostrum Supplement
La Belle strives to provide the industry high quality, efficacious products through product research and development, purity of nature, and integrity. Research shows that puppies need twice as much energy as adult dogs. Dramatic growth at this stage means your puppy requires an energy-rich, nutrient-dense, complete and balanced diet. Puppies also require more protein than adult dogs. High-quality, animal-based protein will help your puppy create new body tissue. We recommend using Premier Select Canine Formula as a supplement to this important diet.

During the first weeks of life a puppy develops very fast and needs about twice the nutritional content of a normal adult dog diet. The immune system is developing. Bones are growing. Muscles are getting stronger. This rate of growth requires just the right mix of nutrients. To make sure your puppy is getting optimal nutrition to protect and maintain health and well-being, here are some key points to keep in mind:

- Bones and joints growing to full size.

- Muscles developing and growing

- Internal organs growing (this continues even after your dog appears to be full size)

- Immune system developing and learning to protect

- Cognitive development and brain growth

More Energy, More Protein
Research shows that puppies need twice as much energy as adult dogs. Dramatic growth at this stage means your puppy requires an energy-rich, nutrient-dense, complete and balanced diet. Puppies also require more protein than adult dogs. High-quality, animal-based protein will help your puppy create new body tissue.

Puppy’s Nutritional Needs
Supporting that level of development – similar to what a human goes through from birth to 14 years of age – in just one or two years takes the right level of nutrition, this includes:

Protein – A key building block of muscle, skin, coat, organs and other tissues. During this period of growth, a puppy needs abundant protein

Calcium and Phosphorus – Necessary ingredients for healthy bones and teeth. They must be present in the correct ratios to grow bones and teeth correctly

Omega Fatty Acids, including Linoleic acid – Provides complete and balanced nutrition, promotes a healthy immune system and helps keep your puppy's skin and coat healthy.

Feeding Your Puppy

From the time your puppy’s weaned until 4 months of age, you should feed your puppy 2-3 meals a day based on the guidelines of the food label. After 4 months of age, your puppy should be fed twice a day on a regular schedule. Always have fresh water available. Just like people, every dog has unique nutritional needs based on their age, health and activity level. Its very important to choose your dogs food according to his or her age lifestyle because of the biological changes your dog through. Consult a vet if you need help finding the perfect food.

Premier Select Canine Formula is a perfect addition to your dogs diet: whether it's a brand new, young pup or an adult dog. Combining colostrum proteins with Avi-PRO egg proteins and a healthy vitamin and mineral pack, PS Canine Formula provides a nutritional "boost" for your dog's active lifestyle.

Feeding your puppy 2-3 times a day is the ideal, however we don't recommend over feeding your dog because of obesity and growth-related skeletal disease. Obesity is the number one nutritional disorder among dogs. Studies suggest that approximately 25 percent of the dogs presented to veterinary clinics are overweight. This extra weight puts pets at risk for certain health problems involving the cardiovascular, respiratory and skeletal systems. Knowing how to recognize the signs of obesity and take corrective action is important.

Ask your Veterinarian
We strongly recommend you ask your veterinarian about a specific nutrition plan for your puppy. Every puppy has specific needs, so don't be affraid to talk to your veterinarian about your dogs needs.

If you are thinking of adding a loving and loyal canine companion to your family, you will want to consider many factors in selecting the type of animal which best suits your lifestyle and fits your needs. Let say you found the perfect dog for the family, congratulations! Now what? Well, we have a few tips to help you take care of that new puppy.

Healthy Dog Tips:

Never give your dog chocolate, some dogs could get poisoned.

Don't give your dogs any kind of bones (chicken, fish, or meat). Bones can break teeth or even hurt your dogs throat.

Weight and exercise activity should be monitored.

Be aware of what goes in (and out) of your dog to ensure your dog is staying healthy.

Make sure your dogs are caught up with all veterinary care procedures.

Exercise With Your Dog
Exercising with your dog not only strengthens the bond between you and your pet, it's also the healthy thing to do. Dogs, like people, benefit from exercise to help control weight and to maintain a healthy heart, lungs and muscle tissues.As you exercise with your dog, consider its needs and present physical condition. Leisurely walks may be best for an older dog while a young puppy has ample energy for a vigorous exercise program.

Avoid exercising your dog immediately before or after it is fed. A full stomach may cause digestive upsets. Provide only small amounts of water before and directly after exercise.

If your dog has a history of medical problems, work with your veterinarian to plan an appropriate exercise program. If exercise makes your dog lame or if it tires easily, consult your veterinarian. Whatever exercise program you pursue, remember that your dog loves to spend time with you, and you can make that time special.

Training Your Dog
Training provides benefits to dogs of every age and breed - and to their owners. While getting your dog to recognize and react to your verbal commands requires time, patience, and more than a few treats, the result will be a responsible, responsive, well-adjusted dog. The first thing to remember is to keep a positive attitude. Your dog should associate training with fun and enthusiasm, and should be rewarded whenever he does something right. Reprimands will be needed when he ignores you or does something wrong, but these should be limited to an intense stare and a gruff, low-pitched "No!" Never hit your dog; this will just make him mistrust you, making training and control even harder.

Selecting A Vet

After yourself, the most important person in your puppy's life is a veterinarian. Take your puppy in for a visit as soon as possible. Your vet can check for problems you might miss. And if there is a problem, the sooner treatment starts, the better. Your puppy may also need shots and vaccinations. A puppy gets disease protection from its mother's milk for the first six weeks, but then it needs shots.

If you bought from a breeder, check to see if the shots have already been taken care of.
