Oops, forgot to mention about your food question...
Just use a good quality puppy food. I'm using iams now. I know there's alot of controversy about iams company now, but it is a quality food. I've used science diet, they didnt like it. I've used pedigree, didn't get shiny coats, I've used puppy chow, too much corn. I've used nutro, pups liked but adults didnt. I've used Pro Plan (and still do mixed in with their other at times, and I like pro plan alot) Only one I haven't tried with them as of yet other than some samples is Royal Canin. Let's just say I've food hopped alot over the yrs to get where I am with them now. (my yorkies are as finicky as they come, you'd think mine had feline in their lines somewhere; they won't eat anything you throw at them unless its a real cooked meat) Also a good supp to give the puppies when they get used to their food is brown rice and white meat chicken mixed in with their food. This is also a good thing to give to a preggo mommy. There's lots of others here with their own good puppy recipes. Hope this helps. |
