Feeding Your Coton

Your new puppy will come with a sample bag of 4health grain free small breed puppy.  If you prefer to feed something different that is fine. Please make sure the brand you choose is a high quality feed.  The first ingredient should never be a grain.  

Grains are fillers for dog.  They provide little nutrition and will pass thru the system quickly resulting in more waste.  You will get from your dog what you put into him or her.  

Other brands I recommend are Blue Buffalo

Royal Canine

Eukanuba

I start offering dry kibble at age 4 weeks.  I also add a multi vitamin  and a probiotic to the puppies food daily.   If your puppy is not eating dry kibble then he is not ready to leave for his new forever home.  Some times you will need to mix a little canned food with the dry kibble but this should never be the norm.  Only when puppy is slow to eat.   

I free feed my pups but starting them on a routine feeding is fine and will make potty training easier.  Your puppy should be fed at least three times a day.  The amount depends on the size of the puppy.  Read the label on the dog food bag for guidance.  You may also speak with you vet.  I offer about a 1/3 of cup and see how he does.  Make sure he gets all he wants with each feeding.
