Any food on this list with a protein content between 20-30% is an EXCELLENT food choice that you absolutely cannot go wrong with. Here's what I personally recommend:

- I feed Chicken Soup for the Puppy Lovers Soul AND Canidae All Life Stages (both dry foods) mixed together.
- I use Missing Link Supplement on their food everyday.
- I bathe them with moisturizing shampoo & conditioner from PetSmart. I also sometimes use Head & Shoulders shampoo and conditioner.
- I spritz them with diluted Emu Oil after towel drying them after a bath before blowing them dry.
- I brush them daily
- I walk them 2-3 times daily
- They chew on Merrick's Bully Sticks and Flossies, both of which are great for their teeth and 100% digestible (unlike rawhide or Greenies, which are both dangerous)
- I'm about to start using Apple Cider Vinegar in their water, a capful a day in their water bowl -- it neutralizes the pH levels of their body and prevent bad breath and prevents the yellow marks in the grass that their pee can make.
- If they get gooey eyes, I use a warm wash cloth or paper towel.

Hummmmmmm, that's all I can think of right now. Make sure you have some NutriCal on hand when you get your little one. These small breeds are prone to hypoglocemia in the beginning.
