My moms are allowed access to their pups as long as they want and some will let pups nurse until they are well over 8 weeks old. Is he looking less bloated since you are doing smaller, more frequent meals? We would love to see pictures of the little fella. How much does he weigh? Also, I know Fromm is a good food but he might like it too much. What flavor are you feeding him? Are all your dogs on Fromm?
He is alittle less bloated since feeding smaller meals but as soon as he gets a meal-BAM! He is hard as a drum again. He is 13 weeks and weighs 2 lbs 15 ounces. I am feeding Fromm Puppy. I feed Fromm adult (Purple/silver bag) for all the other dogs i have. moms coming into the house prior to having any pups get the Fromm Puppy food. Plus they get cottage cheese, and egg and whatever else they want during the day. I wonder if a nastier food would discourage wolfing down food--but i like that the fromm doesnt have corn or wheat....
