simple items for the proper feeding/nutrition of your new
puppy.
Taste
Of
The Wild Pacific Stream Canine Formula with Smoked Salmon,
To find a
retailer closest to you please go
onto their website and use their store locator
http://www.tasteofthewildpetfood.com.
You can also purchase this food from us if that is
convenient for you. Soak dry
kibble in hot water for 10-15 minutes. Feed twice a day.
Between meals, feel free to leave
a bowl of dry kibble for your puppy to snack on. As an
extra treat you can offer raw
chicken wings. Please read the instructions below for more
information on raw meats. It is
very difficult for us to give you the exact amount you
should be feeding as the puppies
have been eating in a group, so start off by using the
instructions on the bag.
As an alternative to the raw
meat, or to just add something special you may want to use,
Merrick's
Canned Food Products.

variety of flavors, go to their
website to locate a retailer closest to you.

Simply mix
Merrick's

twice a day.
When first arriving in your home,
it is not unusual for your puppy to have a bit of a
decreased appetite. Remember,
when eating along side of their siblings, there was a bit of a
competition, without this
rivalry, your new pup may eat less.
This adjustment usually lasts for
only a few days. During this time, it is important to make
food available at all times, and
for you to monitor their consumption.
Barf Diet Information To be used
along with your kibble. We recommend you start off
slowly when introducing raw
meats. We do highly recommend using raw meats along with
your kibble and the website below
will introduce you to the idea of what it is all about, also
please feel free to call us
anytime with your questions.
The BARF diet, like life, has
many different successful routes. I have tried to detail some
of the basic questions that you
may have which will hopefully get you onto the BARF track.
People have different ideas about
BARF and my suggestion if you become confused, is
NOT to go back to commercial
foods, but start thinking about what is best for your dog (or
cat). Start with the basics - raw
chicken bones - carcasses, wings, necks. For the majority
of BARF'ers -that is the base of
the majority of their dogs meals. However, if chicken is not
available readily, use what is
available locally - raw meaty - lamb, beef, venison, duck,
rabbit, kangaroo, pig, raw whole
fish. You get the picture. Please note: Dogs do not have
the digestive system to cope with
grains. Grains are one of the biggest sources of allergies in
dogs. Grains make up the majority
of dog food company food sources. Many people find
when they switch to an all
natural diet, the allergies their dogs had disappear. This is
common. Not only is BARF cheaper
to feed than commercial dog foods, but there are
enormous savings to be made by
not having all those vet visits to fix your dogs' allergies.
Are you asking yourself yet, "why
hasn't my vet recommended this?" Yes, I would ask that
of them too. Unfortunately most
vets receive NO education at university on dog diet other
than what the commercial dog food
company reps tell them! (yes, this is the education they
PAY to get - unbelievable.
Luckily, some universities are realizing this mistake and are
making amends).
