TASTE OF THE WILD

PUPPY - High Prairie

We highly recommend you avoid chicken by product and cheap kibbles.  We have tried many brands over the years and have found one that works well with our breed.  Ear infection, skin irritation and other problems can arise from fillers in kibbles and from chicken.  It is so important to keep your puppy on a well balanced diet.  Taste Of The Wild can be purchased at most pet stores, Tractor Supply and online.  You will get a sample bag in your free Gotcha Day bags.

If you switch do it under your vets advice and slowly so that you do not upset your puppies digestive system.

Crate or kennel - Your puppy will only need enough space to sleep while training. This isn’t ‘cruel’ but actually gives your puppy comfort like a ‘den’ once they adjust to it and are successful potty training, you can increase their space.  It helps to find a kennel that has a divider you can remove as the puppy grows.
