We only release puppies who are eating well and showing all signs of health. We would never ever release a puppy who is  showing any lack of appetite, has loose stools or other signs of not being well. Our puppies should not pose a  feeding problem  for you.


Puppies are are given  IAMS PUPPY ( YELLOW BAG) NOT LARGE BREED They are FREE FED which means this food is available at all times 24/7.We also supplement with 2  soft food servings daily ( ESBILAC GOATS MILK FORMULA  OR ESBILAC PUPPY MILK ) as well  once aday of NUTRICAL

1.Free feeding means to have  dry food by providing food available at all times. Dry food and fresh water must be made available to small breed puppies at all times for the first 6 months of age. Teensie ones you may call teacups should be free fed their entire lives.

2.SOFT FOODS.( once a day minimum for puppies over 2 lbs .For those under 2 lbs 2  OR 3 times aday). Use the dry food, one tablespoon plus broth. Soak 10 minutes, serve. Throw excess away after 30 minutes
Soft food can grow bacteria and must not be saved once a puppy eats from it .

3. ESBILAC PUPPY MILK for puppies under 2 lbs- 2 x aday


PUPPIES LOVE TO EAT SO A LACK OF APPETITE OR  NOT EATING IS AN URGENT CONDITION_ IT  USUALLY MEANS  SICKNESS- TAKE FECAL SAMPLE IN ASAP FOR TESTING AT LAB FOR BACTERIA  LIKE E COLI

If your puppy is homesick and doesn't eat then you have to make him eat .If you are unsure how to force feed a puppy then take him to a  vet for instructions on how to force feed him.ADVISE:

1.We find that puppies cannot resist Gerber BABYFOOD single meats but they do not contain  carbs so mush up one and add 1 teaspoon of  Gerber Rice flakes +  2 teaspoons water or puppymilk. Throw out any food not eaten within 30 minutes.

2.You MUST use NUTRICAL on a puppy who refuses to eat. One inch in the  morning,one inch at  noon and one inch at  night while you tempt the puppy with the Gerber baby food single meats and meat sticks.Place 1 inch on your finger and then open puppies mouth with the other hand  and place your finger into his mouth and wipe off the Nutical  as you wipe your finger against the inside of his mouth against his cheek

3.You MUST make sure the puppy drinks water and can mix with puppymilk to tempt, or you may use plain unflavored Pedialyte. Use a large size child medicine dropper and slowly squeeze the fluid into puppies mouth.

4.ESBILAC PUPPY MILK Use the larger dropper and give at least 1 oz three times aday, SLOWLY  so you don't choke the puppy.

4. Honey ( not raw from health food stores) squeezed slowly into the puppies mouth a few drops at a time until a teaspoon is given can stimulate appetite and also lift up a low blood sugar.Use once aday only  if the puppy isn't eating


Any puppy who refuses food altogether even if you force feed with a dropper IS likely sick and you need to get to the Vet and have a fecal study done.
Please call us if you are having problems. We are here to help you and you must not feel like you are bothering us.

BACTERIA CONCERN- Never save any milk or damp food that has puppies saliva in it. If puppy eats half the soft food on his plate, THROW AWAY the rest that is on his plate. If he drinks half the milk in his bowl, then throw away the rest he left.The ONLY way you may save any milk he might have contaminated with his saliva is by boiling it and cooling .It is best you just throw leftover  damp foods away after 30 minutes.
