What Food Should You Feed Your Puppy?

Choosing the right food to feed your new puppy is crucial to their overall health and well-being and something that should be done with careful thought and consideration. A quality food is not cheap but well worth the price to ensure your puppy is getting good nutritional value in the food.

We use Royal Canin Puppy Food for all of our puppies. We use the small breed food for the smaller puppies and large breed food for our standard size puppies.

We will send your puppy home with a small amount of food to get you started. We encourage families to keep their puppy on this food for at least the first month after transitioning home to help decrease some of the stress on the puppy.

We have made it convenient for you to order the food right from out website with Amazon.

Dog Bowls/Dishes

Dog bowls come in many styles and sizes. We recommend you feed your dog with a stainless steel bowl. They are much easier to clean and sanitize. Plastic bowls can be chewed on and create areas that can harbor bacteria. Plastic bowls also absorb odors, grease and food particles. Your dogs food and water dish should be cleaned in hot soapy water daily and rinsed well or placed in a dish washer to be cleaned. Sometimes it is easier to have 2 sets of dishes so that you can rotate as needed for cleaning.

Crates – Covers – Beds — we also recommend Kuranda beds. 

We recommend a wire crate that has the metal divider. This way you can enlarge the crate as your puppy grows.

We’ve conveniently lined up several sizes of crates with appropriate cover and bed to fit the crate.
