Choosing the Best Puppy Food

I have 4 month old Pomeranian dog. It is not taking food properly. What can I do ? I tried to give her Pedigree, but that also she didn't like. What is the reason?

Also, how do I get good body and good hair growth for my puppy? I am awaiting for your reply. Thanks.

I rescue Shih Tzus (9 at present count!) and always put them on Bil-Jac dog food (not knowing what they had been fed). They have all thrived on it. Some eat the kibble, while others I give the frozen (like the girl who only has her 4 eye teeth). It is more expensive, BUT is so very worth it!

NO CORN. Causes allergies and sickness. Corn is for birds. No wheat or soy. Same thing. No Purina--no pedigree canned food. Look up what is in Pedigree(euthanized pets, including the poison which does not cook off) purina is always on the recall list. Go to holistic vet. No vaccines(see ingredients) (poisons) on vaclib.org. Raw diet is best. Don't be afraid of vegetables. Half cook some brocolli and see how she gobbles that up. Carrots, green beans, kale is excellent half cooked, See holistic vet, homeopath and feed better than what is at the grocery store. U will spend zip zero nadda if u keep your dogs immune system up instead of destroying it with poison food-poison vaccines. Borax your house and u will have no fleas. Again that is a natural product, not poison.

I also have a Pomeranian (mixed with cocker spaniel) and when I first go him when he was 3 months old, me and my parents went to petsmart and searched through the puppy food ile*. First, you look for the healthiest puppy food. What I have learned is that my dog like occasional dry food but he absolutely love wet food in the cans, but for dry food. You look at nutrients and then look at the ingredients. if it looks tasty to you. Your puppy will probably like it, and the wet food I get is different kinds. Experiment by getting individual brands with different flavors, and when you notice that he likes one, buy a variety pack of that brand.

And with the shampoo, get a shampoo that prevents fleas and ticks so he/she wont get them. And get a scent that you will enjoy. But not a scent that is too strong. I've learned from experience that dogs don't like it. Try to wash her/him at least once a week. I have to wash my dog a lot since he is a white dog.

Hope I helped- brittany <3
