I think Royal Canin is easily available all over Europe.....excellent!....this young baby needs to be on
puppy food....I would suggest Royal Canin canned puppy food with the Starter kibble to free feed 24/7, progressing to the Royal Canin Puppy/Chiot Yorkshire Terrier until 10 months old....my dogs are on Royal Canin and have been since the mid/late 70's, from breeding stock, diets are managed by the progressive nutritional formulas from estrus to whelping, to weaning babies, to managing adult active Yorkies, to seniors.....cradle to grave. They are in excellent condition. Good luck with this tiny youngster, who at this young age, is really not even weaned completely. You could even get some of Royal Canins puppy milk formula, and pour up a serving of that several times a day, especially last thing at night....puppy will go to sleep with a full tummy of nice warm puppy milk! I am soooo jealous, as I can not get that formula for MY babies here in the USA and it is EXCELLENT nutrition!

This can be remedied by feeding earlier. Unlike humans, dogs create acid in their stomach in anticipation of eating and if food does not come quickly they must rid the stomach of the acid. Even if it was actual vomit and it was a one time episode and he is eating, drinking, not lethargic and his stools are solid I would just watch him closely.
Don't know what dog foods are available in Scotland, but Pedigree is probably not the best you can get. Look for a food with no corn, no wheat, no soy and no by-products and lists a named protein source like chicken or turkey as the first ingredient (meat is a generic term and could mean anything like euthanized animals). Also a dry food is better for their stools and teeth. As far as quantity I would go with the recommendations on the packaging and leave out a high quality dry food and hopefully, he will change over to that slowly on his own. |
