Please keep in mind it is also important to add a daily vitamin to your growing puppies diet. I use the Nu-Vet vitamins for all our puppies. I also incorporate fresh lightly steamed vegetables and meats such as chicken & turkey into the diet. (Do not give cooked bones to your puppy). A little bit of yogurt or cottage cheese, a few times a week is also a good idea, (Just a spoonful on the puppy's kibble diet). If you notice your puppy not wanting to eat, you can also get AD canned food from your vet. This is very nutritious and most puppies will just lap it up. If you have tried several different foods and your puppy is acting lethargic at all, this can be a sign of low blood sugar. You should give the puppy some Karo syrup, Nutrical, honey, or sugar water and then a little bit of whole milk to keep the sugar level up, and you should contact your vet immediately. You can also call me anytime for advice. The below puppy foods are a good base food for your puppy, but don't forget to add a good vitamin, and other healthy foods such as vegis, fruits, and meats for a healthy puppy diet. Raw bones are also good in moderation. I usually grind up the raw chicken bones and place it in ground up raw chicken meat and the puppies just love that. When I do that I only give them a little bit keeping in mind that their main food nourishment should come from their kibble diet. Do not feed your puppy the foods you cook for yourself. It is full of salts, empty calories, and fats that may end up making your puppy obese. Fresh raw vegis and meats are the best, because they still have all their nutrients. It is also important to only give your puppy one kind of new food at a time, and then watch for any adverse reaction such as loose stools or allergic reactions. That way you know exactly what caused the adverse reaction and can omit that from your puppies diet. Generally puppies can eat the same fruits and vegis as humans but only very little portions. Remember to make the main staple of your pets diet the Puppy kibble that it was on when you purchased it. There are a few vegis and meats you should never feed your dog. Make sure to read the list at the bottom of the page on what things you should NEVER feed your dog, or should only feed in moderation. Again if you have any questions at all please email or call me any time.

* Cooked bones can splinter and tear a dog's internal organs.
* Ham and bacon contain too much fat and too much salt, and can cause pancreatitis. Also, large breeds of dogs that eat salty food may drink too much water and develop a life-threatening condition called bloat. This is where the stomach fills up with gas and within several hours may twist, causing death.
* Raw liver or too much cooked liver (three servings a week) can lead to vitamin A toxicity. This can cause deformed bones, excessive bone growth on the elbows and spine, weight loss, and anorexia.
* Avocados (fruit, pip, and plant) are toxic to dogs. They can cause difficulty breathing; fluid accumulation in the chest, abdomen and heart; or pancreatitis.
*Wild mushrooms can cause abdominal pain, drooling, liver damage, kidney damage, vomiting, diarrhea, convulsions, coma, or death.
* Onions destroy red blood cells and can cause anemia, weakness, and breathing difficulty. Even small amounts can cause cumulative damage over time. This includes onions or chives - raw, powdered, dehydrated, or cooked.
* Large amounts of garlic cause the same problems as onions.* Dogs can't digest most vegetables (carrots, green beans, lettuce, potatoes or yams) whole or in large pieces. Potato peels and green potatoes are dangerous. You can lightly steam the vegis which can help digestion.
* Tomatoes can cause tremors and heart arrhythmias. Tomato plants and the most toxic, but tomatoes themselves are also unsafe. (All parts of the plant except the tomato itself are also poisonous to humans.)
* Grapes and raisins can cause kidney failure in dogs. As little as a single serving of raisins can kill him. If the dog doesn't eat enough at one time to be fatal, he can be severely damaged by eating just a few grapes or raisins regularly.
* Caffeine (from coffee, coffee grounds, tea, or tea bags) stimulates the central nervous and cardiac systems, and can cause vomiting, restlessness, heart palpitations, and even death within hours.
* Raw egg whites contain a protein called avidin, which can deplete your dog of biotin, one of the B vitamins. Biotin is essential to your dog's growth and coat health. The lack of it can cause hair loss, weakness, growth retardation, or skeleton deformity. Raw egg yolks contain enough biotin to prevent the deficiency, so this is not a problem with raw whole eggs. Raw egg yolks could contain salmonella, so you should get your eggs from a reliable source or cook the eggs.
* Nutmeg can cause tremors, seizures and death.
* Chocolate can cause seizures, coma and death. Baker's chocolate is the most dangerous. The darker the chocolate, the more dangerous it is. But any chocolate, in large enough amounts, can kill a dog. An ounce of chocolate can poison a 30-pound dog, and many dogs will happily consume more than this. The symptoms may not show up for several hours (and so might make you think all is well), with death following within twenty-four hours. A dog can consume milk chocolate and appear to be fine because it is not as concentrated, but it is still dangerous.
* Dairy products are high in fat, which can cause pancreatitis, gas and diarrhea. A small amount of non-fat, plain yogurt is usually safe.
* Diet products containing the sweetener Xylitol can cause a sudden drop in blood sugar, resulting in depression, loss of coordination and seizures. Unless treatment is given quickly, the dog could die.
* Macadamia nuts can cause weakness, muscle tremor and paralysis. These symptoms are usually temporary.
* Walnuts are poisonous to dogs.
*Apple seeds, cherry pits, peach pits, pear pits, plum pits, peaches and apricot pits contain cyanide, which is poisonous.
* Too much fat or fried foods can cause pancreatitis.
