Thanks for the rest of the advice. I haven't been able to find any of the brands mentioned here in Australia. I'm thinking of just getting my hands dirty and feeding him part of his own food (ie taken out of his daily portions) as treats until he's a bit bigger.
Capt Noonie, you mention fruit. Would this be advisable with a puppy?
I still have the vet and the breeder to ask, I just wanted to have this cleared up before he comes home. |
Fruit and veggies are great for dogs, even puppies. Just make sure you don't give onion, garlic, grapes or raisins, as those are toxic. I've found mine like almost all fruits and veggies, esp watermelon, apple (no skin), asian pears, cucumbers, mangoes, carrots, tomatoes, even coconut and avocado. They didn't really like blueberries, strawberries, etc and I think bc most times these can be quite sour.
