She basically had mushy bones because her previous owners were only giving her beef and rice, with a few pieces of kibble. I'm not saying this could happen to all puppies but it did with mine. THe lack of a good puppy food resulted in really soft breakable bones. Since i've had her she has been on a premium puppy kibble and has filled out nicely.
If your puppy doesn't like the food your giving her i would try another premium puppy food like innova, wellness, canidae, nature's variety, california natural, solid gold. i prefer wellness and solid gold for puppies. |
Exactly.
Homecooking is just fine BUT it has to be balanced with vitamins and minerals added if you are going to feed it for an extended period or there will be problems.
I'm not sure about giving a Yorkie puppy milk if they have already been weaned. You could ask this in the breeder's section though. It is sort of surprising that she won't eat the canned food.
