Fondly called “golden”, a golden retriever is one of the most even-tempered intelligent dogs. They make a delightful playmate for energetic kids, considerate companions of other pets and the overall sweetness and brightness is something to love. If you picture your eyes being lit up when your large golden retriever enters, then you need to understand how to feed them for optimum health. Here is Stephanie Taunton, a professional dog trainer with decades of experience to walk you through how to feed your golden four-legged friend. “To start with, It is important to know that their needs and feeding vary on the age and size and the puppies reach adulthood at age 12-18 months,” says Stephanie Taunton. "They are a very active breed with fiery appetite, hence they require high-quality nutrition to thrive," Stephanie added.
