Dog Food - Your puppy needs to continue the same food they are weaned onto for at least 2 more months. Since this food is not sold in retail stores, please read the info below fully before placing your order
Your puppy is used to eating two formulas of PawTree dry kibble so they get a mixture of TWO protein types in their diet to ensure they are getting all the benefits different proteins can provide (i.e. poultry & seafood formulas mixed together which can decrease risks of future allergies). Plus dogs enjoy a variety of food just like we do! Your puppy is currently eating 50/50 mixture for each meal, combining two different protein recipes of PawTree high quality kibble. The two foods Patty is giving them are pawTree Chicken & Brown Rice Recipe and pawTree Whitefish & Brown Rice Recipe. These foods are not available in retail stores. They are organic foods which contain no dyes, preservatives, by-products, GMO’s, corn, soy, or gluten and all products are produced in the USA. They are the highest quality foods we have found and they use healthy grains vs corn or soy for a healthier pup. You can order the kibble online and it will be delivered to your home, usually within a week or so. It is recommended that you do the same combination that we do and buy an XL bag of each and mix them together for each meal. I have a puppy food bin and pour both kinds in together so each scoop has a good blend.
Other supplemental items we recommend from pawTree are the Gastro Pro Plus that will help your puppy to avoid the stress induced diarrhea from the transition from us to you and the pawTree Wild Salmon & Pollock Oil that is important for continued brain development, heart, skin, and coat health.
Because orders can take 1 to 2 weeks to arrive, please place your order ASAP, preferably by 3 weeks before your puppy comes home to you to ensure you have food available upon your puppy’s arrival. Use the following steps:

You will find the specific food they use under “My Recommendations”, along with other suggestions. There you will find lists of the things that are beneficial to have before you receive your puppy, including the food. Note, if you choose the "X-Lg size" dog food when you put it in the cart, it is actually three of the 10.3 lb bags at a lower rate (~45$ savings per XL bag vs 3 regular size, and the sealed bags stay fresher as you use them).
It is suggested that you continue feeding these high quality foods throughout the life of your puppy/dog. If you decide you would like to change brands, it is recommended that you WAIT 2 months before making changes to allow your puppy to settle into its new home without the stress of transitioning the food it is used to eating.
