My puppy needs more iron. What foods can help increase hemoglobin?

Question

What all food items can be given in order to increase my puppies hemoglobin...?? Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Female | unspayed | 2 months and 26 days old | 6.6 lbs

Low hemoglobin is usually the result of low iron. However this typically only occurs if there is another underlying problem. If your dog is on a well balanced diet it is probably getting enough iron already and the other underlying issue needs to be addressed. There are some iron vitamin supplements that you can give, this would probably be your best bet because it will be safe and easy to use. You should be able to purchase them at any PetCo store. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Best of luck.
