Our puppies start eating as soon as they start to move around and follow their Mom's to the food.  We feed free-choice which means that food is always available to the Mom and puppies.

We are getting increasing concerned about the quality of dog foods.  Continued research into finding quality dog foods have lead us to change our puppy diet.  We now feed Chicken Soup for the Puppy Lovers Soul.  This dog food received a 5 Star rating. We also feed natural beef hamburger and raw liver  several times a week to the puppies as they continue to mature.

Amazingly 1 in 5 dogs will get cancer during their life.  Our recommendation is to feed your puppies organic dog food, supplemented with raw meet.  Check out Dog Food Analysis  to find a rating on dog foods.   We agree with the website recommendation to feed several high quality dog foods.  Dogs like variety in their diet. 

We always have fresh water available for the Mom and her pups.  Most of the time the pups are with me they will be eating food, drinking Mom's milk and drinking a little water.
