The Best Dog Food for Extending the Health and Happiness of Your Puppy

8 min read

It goes without saying. When you adopt a puppy, you want them to be in the best health they can be in. And as time goes on, you want them to remain healthy and comfortable into their advanced years. Wouldn’t you say?

A beloved, healthy pet is something we want you to cherish for as many years as possible. It’s one of the reason we’re so diligent about health testing our parent dogs and making sure of high standards in our breeding practices. But the truth is, there’s more to a long healthy life than good genes. Lifestyle, exercise, love from the family, and proper nutrition play a major factor in your pet’s comfort and longevity.

To ensure the health of your new pet, we recommend pawTree dog food to all of our adoptive pet owners. It’s our favorite dog food, what we feed our growing puppies before they’re adopted, and a key ingredient to our 5-Year Genetic Health Guarantee.

So if you’re interested in giving your new puppy the very best, read on. You’ll learn why we feed pawTree dog food to our puppies, our recommendations for your puppy’s first order (as well as a few additional products we love), and how you can save the most money on your first and subsequent orders.

Why Walnut Valley Puppies Feeds pawTree

In our opinion, pawTree sells the best dog food and supplements on the market.

PawTree was created by a man named Roger Morgan. Morgan was a CEO in the pet industry and witnessed first-hand the negative impacts of pet food companies compromising on quality in an effort to put profits before pets.

Tired of cutting corners for the sake of a corporation, pawTree developed a pet-first philosophy, working with a team of trusted vets and PhDs in animal science to create a nutrition plan that ensures our pets are always at their best. 

We believe in pawTree foods and products and have extended our Genetic Health Guarantee to 5 full years if you feed pawTree dog foods during that time.

Here’s a bit more of what you can expect by feeding pawTree:

  • Your puppy fueled with the proper nutrition needed for optimal health and vitality
  • No filler or by-products—just named-animal proteins and powerful antioxidants
  • Proper nutrition that allows you to feed less food per day—saving money and digestive health
  • The ultimate preventative against costly vet visits through proper nutrition.
  • And... Much more!

Plus, pawTree stands behind their products with a 90 day money back (no return necessary) satisfaction guarantee and promise to make any issues right if you aren’t absolutely satisfied—making your first order a no-brainer.

Our Suggested Order for All Walnut Valley Puppies

Should you decide to try pawTree, here is our suggested first order. In our opinion, the following menu gives your puppy the best of what they need in this critically important stage of their life.

Additional Products We recommend

Aside from a regular, nutritionally-dense diet, there are a few more products sold by pawTree we recommend. 

While optional, we think they’ll make a great addition to your dog’s life and overall wellness—and with up to 20% off your first order (keep reading), it’s the perfect time to try a few products to see which you and your puppy most enjoy.

Plaque control

PawTree has recently introduced an innovative product called Plaque Control

Plaque Control is a tasty chew that supports the vascular system of your pet and prevents plaque and tartar buildup in the first place. For $11/month, your dog’s breath stays fresh, and while this isn’t a preventative you need to start right away, we do recommend Plaque Control by the time your puppy is 1 year old.

Dr. Cruz, a veterinarian on pawTree’s advisory council, states that the unique cardiovascular approach to Plaque Control makes your puppy’s permanent teeth stronger if given early and on a regular schedule.

ImmunoShroom

ImmunoShroom is an immune support supplement containing 5 powerful medicinal mushrooms. 

Many dog owners speak highly of ImmunoShroom for keeping their dogs vibrant and well. If you decide to give it a shot, be sure to start early. All it takes is a pinch to give your pet these amazing medicinal properties!

Deodorizing Shampoo and Conditioner

PawTree’s Deodorizing Shampoo and Conditioner is a top recommendation to bathe and shampoo your dog. It’s formulated with organic ingredients to cleanse gently, deodorize, and condition your pup’s coat—leaving them feeling soft and fully hydrated!

Treatster Bone

The Treatster Bone is a durable, treat-dispensing toy that’s great for teething and keeping your growing puppy entertained for hours—a big plus for the owners of young dogs.

How to Receive Up to 20% Off Your First Order

New pawTree customers can receive a discount on their first order. Here’s what you need to do.

For orders under $100, use coupon code INTRO4U10 at checkout for 10% off your first order.

If your order is $100+, use coupon code INTRO4U20 at checkout and get 20% off.

How to Save on Shipping Costs and Collect Free Products

To save on shipping costs, place all items on EZShip and set your EZShip schedule for recurring every 8 weeks (pawTree will remind you seven days before your order processes. If you need to change this schedule, continue reading for best practices). 

  • EZShip orders including 3 additional items (in addition to your food) ship for free
  • EZShip orders with 0-2 extra items receive a 25% discount on shipping

With each EZShip order, you receive pawPoints which can be used to purchase any item on the pawTree website. And after your 3rd EZShip order, your pawPoints will double.

PawTree will send you a reminder email seven days before your next EZShip order. If you need to make changes, simply log in and click the dropdown arrow next to your name in the upper right corner. Select “EZShip” and “Edit” to make changes to products or shipping times. 

Unless you are planning to never order from pawTree again, DO NOT delete your EZShip. Deleting your EZShip account nullifies your pawPoints. Change the date, change the items, but don’t delete!
