My vet has recommended the Royal Canine puppy food. I also give this to moma and she has terrible gas. I tried a can of Science Diet puppy food, due to vets office being closed before I got more food. She didn't have the gas on Science Diet. Whats your thoughts and experience with this. The vet also wants to worm them this week, your thoughts on this please. Thanks Sharon. |
I usually start allowing them to lap the Canned Goats Milk at about 3 1/2 weeks of age, about a week later I add Gerber's Rice Cereal, with a bit of Karo.....one milk teeth are in I begin adding Royal Canin Puppy (weaning food, as it's very tiny bite size)......Once those milk teeth are in I switch over to Royal Canin Puppy 33 and I do add Science Diet Puppy. The one thing I do is anytime I add or make any changes to their diet is administer Benebac....this helps with the good bacteria...cutting down on digestive issues.
There is Mylacon that you can purchase at any pharmacy....one or 2 drops on mom's tongue is all that is needed to help with the gas.....
