How to soak golden retriever dog food? For golden retrievers under 3 months old, the water temperature should be about 40-70 degrees, but the water must be boiled in advance and then cooled for soaking. The amount of water should be enough for the dog food to absorb. Until the dog food is released (soaked until soft), the solubility of each type of dog food is different, so the soaking time will be different.

For dogs under 3 months old, the method of soaking dog food is as follows:

Water temperature: about 40-70 degrees warm water, but the water must be warm water that has been boiled in advance and then cooled down (to avoid the loss of nutrients in dog food caused by boiling water, and hot water can easily burn dogs);

Amount of water: The dog food should be able to absorb just enough, so that the soaked dog food can just absorb all the water, so that there is no need to pour out the excess water and lose part of the nutrition;

Time: Soak until the dog food is released (softened); the solubility of each type of dog food is different, so the soaking time will vary. Usually warm water at around 60 degrees is enough for 20 minutes. At this time, the water temperature is about 30 degrees, which is just right for trial feeding.
