Nutrition

Our puppies are fed twice daily, with approximately 1 cup of food in the morning (7–8 AM) and 1 cup in the evening (7–8 PM). These portions will increase as they grow to meet their nutritional needs.

If you choose to transition your puppy to a different food, please do so gradually to avoid digestive upset. Ensure you are feeding your puppy the appropriate amount based on their weight. Most puppy food bags include a feeding chart to guide you on the recommended daily portions.

We feed them Open Farm Grain-Free Puppy Chicken & Salmon.
