At this time the puppies are eating Farmina Lamb & Blueberry Puppy Mini Kibble soaked in hot water for about 10 minutes with a BIG spoonful of the Life's Abundance Pork and Venison wet food on top.
​
Feeding times are 7 am, 12 PM & 5 PM
​
Each litter is different. The smaller the puppy the smaller the amount of food that they will require. Mini's usually are eating about 1/4 cup 3 times a day. Mediums are going to be anywhere from a little over 1/4 - 1/2 cup 3 times a day. We will let you know what your litter is averaging at the time of puppy pick up.
Make sure you soak this kibble for at least 20-30 minutes in HOT water. It needs to soak long enough so that you can break the kibbles in half with your finger nail. I would highly recommend feeding your puppy 3 times a day until they are about 4 months old.
Life's Abundance is only offered online and is a direct ship company. There is no middle man... which means that the food is always fresh... when they ship out the food it is no older than 6 weeks old.
I recommend getting set up on an auto ship for your food order it will save money & it will be there when you need it.

We use the Pork & Venison wet food for all of our dogs. It helps with puppy development. Our adult dogs love it so we give them a spoonful daily too. I would recommend getting a case of this to start with The wet food will help with the transition to home as well. When puppies are going off to their new home if they get stressed they stop eating. They usually love the wet food and will eat it if nothing else.

Your puppies nutritional intake will vary as they progress from stage to stage. When you first take your puppy home it will be a time of big changes. They may not eat well for the first day or two. I would recommend having the wet food on hand. When all else fails they usually have a difficult time saying no to the wet food.
​
As your puppy grows and develops sometimes people have a difficult time telling if their puppy is the correct weight, especially if they have a LOT of coat.
Run your fingers across the top of your puppies spine. You do not want to have your finger dip each time it comes to a new rib bone. And at the same time you want to be able to feel the spine. Over feeding your pup will cause hip issues. Under feeding is also dangerous and can compromise their overall health as well.
​
Your puppies nutritional intake will vary. Your puppy in the beginning the first day or so may only eat 1/4 cup of kibble with some wet food. But usually within days they will be up to 1/2 cup w/1/3 can of wet food three times a day. Usually breakfast and dinner are the biggest meals for them and lunch is usually a little less. But once they are in a home and active it will increase. Once your puppy reaches 4 months of age you can start moving them to twice a day feedings am and pm. My adult dogs range between 1/2 -1 cup twice day. You will have to see whats right for your puppy.
Here are some additional products that we use from Life's Abundance. I LOVE this product. Ever try getting a puppy to eat a big old fish pill? HA HA!
​
This is perfect for puppies. I recommend starting your puppy on fish oil one week after you've had them home.
Treats
Training treats are great for training tricks like the "here" command, down command, potty treats.... These little guys break apart easily and each treat can be broken and used as 3-4 treats.
Porky Puff's are GREAT for puppies. They keep them occupied and if they pick one up and are running around with it in the mouth... they look like they have a pig snout! I've gotten some great photos from families with the Porky Puff's and their pups!
Bully Sticks from Life's Abundance! Absolute Must Have... a small investment in these will helps save your furniture!
