Complete Puppy Nutrition Equals Happy Puppies

For puppies, a long, healthy life begins with great puppy nutrition. That’s why we feed our XO PUPS family the finest, freshest ingredients for healthy growth. We also build a puppy nutrition plan for each breed, so every pup gets the right mix of the following:

  • Carbohydrates: Supplies energy and aids digestion.
  • Fats: Promotes a rich, shiny coat and healthy skin.
  • Protein: Builds strong muscles and organs while boosting the immune system.
  • Vitamins and minerals: Promotes growth, strong bone development, a healthy nervous system and disease prevention.

At XO PUPS, we give our puppies for sale natural vitamin and mineral sources whenever possible. In addition, we add supplements to our strict puppy nutrition routine, so each puppy gets the nutrients it needs for growth and energy.

XO PUPS Medical & Nutrition Schedule

Our pups get plenty of exercise and affection every day. Still, nutrition is a key part of our care at XO PUPS. We feed every puppy twice a day, and fresh water is always available. We also check weight and temperature routinely, so we know each puppy is thriving. Through our certified veterinary program, each puppy gets individual medical attention and routine vaccinations. Plus, we watch every pup closely and keep detailed medical records, which you’ll receive when you take your puppy home. Proper puppy nutrition is vital, so we make sure each puppy gets the best possible start.

Then, when you head home, our take home kit includes premium dry and wet food, a food container and a scoop. That way, your puppy’s first meals at home feel familiar. You can see everything in the kit on our puppy package page.

Veterinary Follow Up and Puppy Nutrition

Of course, we want our puppies to be as healthy and happy with you as they are with us. That’s why we provide a complimentary physical exam through Potomac Valley Vet Hospital. At that visit, you can talk about your puppy’s ongoing food and medical needs. You can read more about it on our puppy veterinary care page. We also encourage you to ask about spay and neuter programs, because they help reduce the homeless pet population. For general feeding tips as your puppy grows, the American Kennel Club nutrition guide is a good place to start.

My husband and I came in to visit to look at the puppies and options they have. They gave us a good amount of time to get to know a puppy, but we had another puppy in mind too. They did a great job with handling customers. The staff quickly wanted to know the purpose and how serious we were on buying before they gave out a second puppy, which I understand. However, we were interested but this also turned us off. The puppies were individually confined which is not great environmentally and socially for them. (My opinion, but to each their own.) Otherwise, it was not bad of an experience. I will come back. Just things to consider. We will keep them in mind for a specific breed only.

We had a great experience at XO with our first dog so it was a no-brainer to return when we were looking to add another puppy to our family. We had an equally great experience the second time around, and happy to find another perfect match.
