Do any of you think there is anything that you can give a pup that will enhance their growth? Tell me about proven tactics not some "remedy" you heard might help. I have never beleived in anything other than good food and nutrition.

Its all in the genes and the proper nutrition. Let nature take its coarse.

My vet told me puppy chow for entire first year will ensure max size is attained. Nutrition is the key, and quality puppy food has the vitamins and minerals that aid in growth.

Frieda Kpan is a big advocate of puppy food for entire first year to ensure bones get required nutrition. Ive always done it and it makes good sense but impossible to prove if they grew more than they would have on regular dog food. Obviously genetics is much bigger factor.
