Recommended Dog Food


There are several different brands of Dog Food that we have researched and use. We recommend a high protein diet, as well as a good amount of fat and wholesome grains. We do not recommend a grain-free diet, as recent studies have linked grain-free diets to heart and health issues such as heart disease, enlarged hearts, elevated heart rates and more. We think it is very important for your dog to have a good balanced diet with good healthy macros. If there is any investment you can make towards your dog’s health, a good dog food is top priority. Many things like cancer, heart disease, gut issues, hip & joint issues can be avoided by a good dog food. We also recommend giving your pet a good multi/daily vitamin to ensure they are getting all the nutrients they need.
We also recommend switching dog foods all together about every 6 months to support a healthy gut. It is always a good idea to do this gradually.

The first few days your puppy is home, they may not have a big appetite with all the changes happening. If you feel your puppy isn’t eating enough, it may help to mix in some canned wet food to entice them to eat. All of our puppies are fully weaned and used to eating dry kibble alone by the time they leave, so this usually isn’t an issue, but loss of appetite is a common side effect of stress. Make sure your puppy is eating their daily servings as well as drinking plenty of water. Always have water available to your puppy. Limiting water intake will often cause UTI’s which can make them have little control over their bladder, not only is it painful but can also make it very difficult to potty train. A lot of people mistake this for a “nervous piddle” but often is later diagnosed as a UTI.

Important: Please chat with us about nutrition before purchasing food for your new puppy. We want to make sure you are getting the correct food to avoid any stomach issues. We cater to each individual litter and may choose different foods based on the breed and size of your puppy.

Thank you!
