We do strongly recommend that you continue to feed your puppy Pro Plan Puppy. If you choose to change brands, please do NOT do so during the transitional period (first 10 days). We would like it if you fed the puppy the way we fed him/her at the club. Your puppy needs to have protein for proper development, make sure that if you choose to change brands DO NOT feed a vegetarian food. Start with 75% Pro Plan with 25% new food for 3 days. Next, 50% Pro Plan with 50% new food for 3 days. Next, 25% Pro Plan with 75% new food for 3 days. We also recommend placing your puppy on a prebiotic during the change in food, because oftentimes a change in diet can affect their little bellies.

You need to call our puppy care team (704) 781-7639. Be aware that puppies are like babies and need to be fed every 2 to 3 hours. Furthermore, small breeds are different than larger breeds, so they need to be handled differently. Allow your pup to have 24/7 access to their dry kibble food. Over-eating is rare among small breeds. In addition to their hard food, it is recommended to give your pup rotisserie chicken or yogurt, to entice your pup to eat. Sometimes, small breed puppies deal with the loss of their appetite because of the change of their environment. Please, keep in mind that the encouragement you give your pup during the transition is not causing bad habits. We recommend a high protein diet that has proven to have effective results during the transition period.

Purina pro Plan puppy is what we feed the majority of our small breed puppies.
