If I remember correctly, your Milo will be quite small (two pounds or so?) when he comes home, so he should have kibble available to free feed whenever he’s hungry. I can’t comment on raw food, since I’ve never used it, so be sure to research possible ill effects on puppies before you make a final decision. And, as was mentioned, be extra cautious about grain free diets; vets still learning of and researching the ill effects of grain free diets on some dogs. |
I've always free fed my yorkies, and I've never fed a raw diet before.
I mentioned above that I was a little surprised by what the breeder was feeding. She explained why she fed the raw, then commented about feeding grain free... then said she free feeds Eukanuba, which isn't grain free. so I was confused, it didn't make sense to me.
My pups have always eaten Royal Canin, Science Diet or Pro Plan (way back in the day... ) I will ask my vet about it for sure.
