Supplies For Feeding Your Puppy

IThe following supplies will help you feed your puppies . The pictures seen below are my recommendations, which include ROYAL CANINE XSMALL PUPPY dry food, Lactaid FREE milk, puppy gel UNDER THE WEATHER BRAND, Stella & Chewy lamb meals

    • Regular feeding instructions

    BASIC FEEDING INSTRUCTIONS Have food and water available: The Royal Canine XSmall puppy dry food should be available day and night. Also, bottled water should be available for your Chihuahua puppy at all times. We advise lactose free warmed up milk as a supplement to twice aday for the first month for extra fluid and calories . Once a puppy reaches around 5 months and they have reached 3 lbs, then you can consider removing overnight food

    ADDRESSING LOSS OF APPETITE . A puppy with no appetite is a serious problem which needs to be solved quickly. If it is sudden and with fatigue then some drops of honey or karo with A trip to the Veterinarian for bloodwork and fecal exam. If tests are normal, you may have to forcefully feed your tiny puppy. If you are unsure how to do this, then the veterinarian can show you . If you know the puppy is not sick and you want to attempt to treat a lack of appetite or hypoglycemia in the puppy on your own then we offer this advise :

    1. Try and tempt the puppy with Gerber Babyfood meatsticks. The meat sticks are soft, mushable. Over two decades of customers using them short term with no known issues.

    2. Nutrical three times a day on a puppy that’s not eating. Give one inch of gel in the morning, one inch at noon, and one inch at night but such a loss of appetite to resort to this measure means a vet appt is needed asap.

    3. Try using a dropper and squeeze several cc of warmed Esbilac Puppy Milk or Lactose free milk slowly into the puppy’s mouth.

    4. Electrolytes with unflavored Pedialyte. Use a large, child sized medicine dropper and slowly squeeze the liquid into the puppies mouth. If the puppy is drinking water, consider putting some unflavored Pedialyte in their water. Also consider 1 tsp sugar to 8 ounces water at night if puppy isn’t eating well. Very poor appetite suggests illness and a Vet exam needed.

    Severe loss of appetite is emergency and you must take puppy to a veterinarian. Have the veterinarian do a blood test and a fecal test to try and determine what may be wrong,

    THE STELLA LAMB SNACKS MUST BE CRUMBLED .THEY ARE CHOKING HAZARD IF GIVEN WHOLE. PUPPY CAN HAVE THREE OF THESE ADAY STARTING AT FOUR MONTHS, BUT CRUMBLE UP THE CHUNKS

    Warning: Do not use canned dog or puppy foods to feed your puppy. It’s extremely dangerous for tiny puppies. Canned food means any and all soft dogs foods. Although bacteria are killed during the canning process, the ” toxic poop” ( endotoxins) created by the bacteria remain. Canned dog and puppy food contain endotoxins. High heat is used in the canning process kill bacteria, but this does not destroy  endotoxins ( byproducts of bacteria).

    Tip: Never give regular, oat, soy or almond milks to a puppy.
