Frequently Asked Puppy Questions

How can I stop my puppy from biting?

1. Provide toy diversion

How do I switch my puppy's food?

If you do decide to change your puppy's food, it is recommended that you do it gradually by mixing new and old together. Here is a good formula to change over a previous food to a new food in a weeks time: 75 previous food /25 new food; 50/50, 25/75. Puppies and dogs experience digestion issues when switching foods so a slow and gradual approach is best. We also recommend that new owners wait at least two weeks after bringing their new puppy home before switching foods.

How much should my puppy eat?

11 to 20 lbs. 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 cups 1 - 1 3/4 cups 2/3 - 1 cup

Why does my 7 month old puppy still have puppy teeth?

Smaller dogs take longer to get their puppy teeth and to also loose them. A few may retain their puppy teeth (most do not) or have a lack of adult counterparts. Dogs that have a lack an adult counterpart typically retained puppy teeth into adulthood, but this is not common. Petite mini goldendoodles have parental lines linked to toy poodles. This breed size is notorious for retaining puppy teeth. However there is a solution, please click the "Read More" button to discover the secret.
