Even if raw is not their main food, incorporating small amounts of it as treats has huge health benefits (plus, it\u2019s good to add raw to their diet slowly). You\u2019ll generally want to vary the kinds of foods, brands, and proteins you feed your puppy to help them get a more balanced diet. Another way to do this is by adding toppers (like canned, freeze-dried or raw) or hydrators (like goat\u2019s milk or bone broth) to their <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/krisers.com\/blog\/pages\/buildabowl\">dry food<\/a><\/span>. It\u2019s a sneaky way to trick them into not only finishing dinner but eating more nutrients.

Plus, with the changing seasons, they want nothing more than to go with you on all of your exciting adventures, and the not-so-exciting ones too. Travel-specific crates or bags, water bowls and treat pouches and safety seatbelt harnesses are key. For summer fun, think about a life jacket and a cooling mat. When the days get colder, paw booties, sweaters, and safe salt should about have you covered.
