If u can do me 1 big favor, I would like to know if the food I'm feeding him, is also good for him can u Google black gold, and put my mind @ rest don't want to be thinking I'm doing right, but be doing him harm black gold dog food.

Ultimate puppy, white and yellow, or gold bag want to make sir he's not getting fillers, and bad crap.

Good day all, I'm just hoping someone can give me info, on the puppy premium by black gold, if u Google it to let me know about it being healthy or not, thank u much.

BlackGold dog foods seems to be adequate. I'm not familure with the food as far as how well it produces dogs..

With puppy foods, that I have learned, is you don't want to start them out on the super high quality foods. For some reason their little tummies just can't handle all the nutrition. The food you are feeding him is just fine. Try not to get into the habit of giving him human foods.. human foods are very fattening and you will get a fat dog very quickly.

Once he is a year old and you are ready to switch to an adult food.. there are lots of brand out there that are very healthy, organic/holistic and have very few fillers.

As far as the ear cropping.. I know it would look pretty cool to have the "devil dog" look.. but then people are less likely to want to pet your dog. Leave him as is and give this breed a good name :)

Thanks for the info, and I decided not to crop his or her ears, and all my dogs are trained to be people and animal friendly.

Hello, I'm just wondering when can I start giving my blue nose pup, who is now 6 weeks k9 showstopper powdered vitamin?

Don't add any extras to the food unless you have a good reason too. Just puppy food is enough. Start messing around with extra vitamins and you can distort the growing process.

Vitamins are made for dogs with deficiencies or breeds that require extra as they grow.

Thanks, so maybe 6months or more?

Why do you want to give the vitamins? As said, if your dog is on a commercial dog food it is already balanced with all the vitamins it needs.
If you are looking to 'bulk' your dog up vitamins won't help, it's all genetics, your dogs will either be big, or it won't, the parents and grandparents genes determine that.

Hard exercise to build up muscle shouldn't begin until after 12 months of age to avoid joint and bone damage. Before then light walks are good though.

Thank you much for the info, and I always keep in mind that animals get stressed like humans, and I would never push my pups to that extent dogs can and want to do more, I've worked with larger animals for yrs.

Just a side note. Shazzy gave you good info.

I have a red nose pit and wanted to put good muscle weight on her. At 6 months I fed her Nutura Pet Evo red meat. It is not cheap, but I'm happy I did it. I fed her this diet for 6 months than changed to their maintenance diet, Innova.

For now, no vitamins, no supplements... Nothing. Nothing should ever be added to a baby puppies diet. The puppy foods are complete no matter what brand. If you do add something, it should be on veterinary order. Just leave his diet alone and let him grow.

Hey does anyone hv info, pro pac puppyfood?

Just buy pro plan puppy. It's a good food. Or stay with the food you have. It appears to be a good food

You are dwelling way too much on what you are feeding. Puppies just need a balanced diet. All dog foods are balanced. The ingredience differ in quality and amount you should feed

Relax. You won't do wrong with any of the foods you choose

Thank you much for the friendly advice, like with your kids, the welfare of my pets are very serious to me, but you were right he went to the vet today for his shots, and he said why change if the food is working.

Hello I hv a 10 week, and 9week old pitbulls, they are eating a very good puppy food, and they do well on it I give them plane yogurt as a treat, and veggies I would like to include a raw diet 2 or 3 days aweek, putting the chicken in boiling water do flush chrmicals, do you hv any 1st timers advice?

I thought you had decided not to change their food. Why are you feeding raw 2 or 3 days a week?

I didn't change their food, I just wanted to start doing raw a few days, and still feed kibbles.

You are planning to change their food from all kibble to sometimes kibble and sometimes raw.

Does your Vet recommend this?

Have you researched feeding raw? It's not just about boiling chicken and feeding it to them.

Then if you sell the puppies the new owner (if they don't want to feed raw) has to switch the diet back again.

Hello, hi, these are my pets I'm not selling them and I pay my vet, his advice matters but I'm never going to put them, in a unsafe situation and I do research before I jump in a empty pool madam, and their health and well being is treated like I treat my kids.

I was going to post about feeding raw but if you've already done your research there's no need.

Yes, by all means if you think your Vet is putting "them" in an unsafe situation do your own research.

Where did you read about boiling chicken to remove chemicals? I can't find a site that isn't privately sponsored.
