How to feed an 8-month-old Golden is best fed a specialized commercial dog food rather than homemade dog food. This is because commercial dog food contains all the nutrients that a puppy needs to grow, as well as high units of protein. Homemade dog food is very prone to nutritional imbalances. Do not blindly feed your Golden Retriever puppy nutritional supplements. Most dog food diets already contain sufficient nutrients such as calcium and vitamin D (to help with calcium absorption), vitamin A, vitamin B, and vitamin E. Don’t give your little Golden any calcium tablets or protein powders lightly. If too much calcium is supplemented, sometimes it can harden the bones of your Golden puppy. The opposite is not good.
