Five Saint Bernard Puppies Surrounded the Biggest Bowl in the House

AI imagesaint bernardfood bowlpuppies

Dinner is served, and five red and white Saint Bernard puppies have surrounded the biggest bowl in the house. Some lean in with noses over the rim, others wait on the rug with their chins down, and a few pieces of kibble are scattered across the floor. Their brown ears are flopped forward, and every pair of eyes is fixed on the food.

Feeding giant breed puppies takes planning. Saint Bernard puppies grow quickly, and the right food and amount help their bones and joints develop steadily. Many vets recommend a diet made for large-breed puppies, and portions that avoid too-rapid growth. Ask your vet for a feeding schedule and portion size, and for tips on avoiding eating too fast, which can be a problem for large dogs.

When feeding more than one puppy, separate bowls help ensure everyone gets a fair share, and stop the fastest eater from taking everything. Fresh water should always be available. Mealtime is also a good chance to practice manners, like sitting calmly before the bowl goes down.

At the moment, manners are not on the menu. Five hungry pups are eating, and the only sound in the room is crunching. Within a minute the bowl will be licked clean, and then all five will turn and look hopefully at the person holding the scoop, in case there happens to be a second round.
