Breeder? yeah, anyone who produces dogs is a breeder. too bad this one, like so many, isn't a very responsible one. -- Janet B www.bestfriendsdogobedience.com http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/bestfr...bedience/album |

Hi
You really need to make sure that you feed your puppy a good quality puppy food until at least 12 months old ... wait until he is about 12 weeks before introducing the large breed puppy food. "Nubian Enigma" wrote in message ... http://community.webtv.net/NubianEnigma/NubianEnigma |

That's not newborn and doesn't need mother's milk replacement. A good puppy food saturated with water to soften it up should do fine. |

Feeding similac, enfamil or anything else is innapropriate. Do not add your own "private mix" to a large breed puppy food. All you will do is screw up the balance of nutrients within the pet food. Especially adding milk based products that may not have the right calcium and phosphorus ratio - you may end up with the wrong ratio and cause ricketts in the dog. The puppy is more than capable of eating a gruel made of puppy food an warm water. |
