Puppies

Mealtime If you have picked up your puppy at eight weeks of age, he will probably be in a routine of getting four meals a day. In most cases, the breeder will give you a quantity of the food he is used to, which should last you for the first few days. I t is very important to stick to the same food and the same mealtimes, at least to begin with. A puppy has so much to get used to as he adapts to his new home, there is no point in risking a stomach upset by changing his diet as well. If you decide to change his diet, do so gradually over a period of several days. Add a little of the new food to begin with, increasing the amount, meal by meal, until you have made a complete changeover. Remember to keep a bowl of fresh drinking water available at all times.
