Welcome to YT!!!

Congrats on your new baby. My advice on the food. You should stick with the same food that the breeder was feeding him. Being that young, you don't want to change up the food yet, and when you do you must gradually add in the new food with the current food so that it doesn't make your pup sick.

The type of food to give him should be a good quality food, because their tummies are very sensitive. Do some reading in this catagory and you can decide on what food to feed him. Also talk with your vet. They can help a lot too.

Puppy chow is not the best quality of food. If you make the decision to switch, gradually mix the new food with the old until you are feeding all new. Do some research as to the different types and quality of food. Personally, I use Innova. Wholesome and all natural ingredients. There are many more out there that are great as well. Good luck on your search, and congratulations on your new baby!
