FAQs

Q:
How do I keep my puppy happy and healthy?
A:Asking this question is the first step to getting there. As a pet parent, it’s crucial to provide both preventative and proactive care to keep them happy and healthy. From vaccinations to nutrition to flea and tick medication, the list can seem overwhelming.
Q:I want to ensure my puppy is getting all the right nutrients and vitamins needed. What should I be looking for when choosing a puppy food?
A:There are a few things to look for when choosing the best food for your puppy, and IAMS™ premium nutrition has a complete and balanced diet that is great for your growing pup. With optimal levels of protein, fat, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, we want you to feel confident in their nutrition choices. See why Premium Puppy Food is a Better Value and select the best food for your pup with the IAMS™ Food Selector.
Q:When do I swap from puppy food to adult food?
A:Your puppy’s nutritional needs will change as they grow into adulthood and each pup is different. It’s important to examine their nutritional needs between 12-24 months, depending on breed size, and there is a process to transitioning their food over time. Learn if your puppy is ready for adult dog food and the best way to make this transition.
Q:I am overwhelmed with the amount of chewing and biting from my new puppy, what do I do?
A:We totally get it – this is part of the puppy parenthood process that everyone goes through. Puppies bite when playing with their littermates, which can be cute at first, but as they grow bigger, it is important to break these habits. Since biting is an unacceptable type of play, it’s important to teach your puppy how to enjoy playing games with toys instead of your hands. Expert Trainer, Kathy Santo, offers some advice on how to stop puppy biting to help break this habit.
