If your breeder is trustworthy, and apparently she is as you purchased a puppy from her, please do as she has suggested and leave this puppy on the food she has grown up with......she has enough to get acclimated and accustomed to with new owners, new house, new schedule, no momma or littermates.....please do not add just another stressor to this little soul. While you may now particularly care for Purina, it is NOT toxic and this baby will be fine on it until she is about 8 months old. She will be very well accustomed to everything that is so new to her at your place, and then you can change her diet with much less emotional stress on the puppy. It is the emotional stress that concerns me the most when these little souls go to new homes and have enough to get used to without loosing the only thing they have left that they know from their breeder. |
