How to Properly Care for your New Shih-Tzu
Royal Canin puppy mini puppy dry food which can be found at PetSmart. This is excellent food, costs a little more but we find it to be the best. We have tried them all and our puppies are healthier and eat better so we highly recommend this food. We do not believe in all-natural foods for puppies, they really need the extra nourishment like royal canin supplies.
- Leave food out 24 hrs/day for the first several weeks.
- Do NOT feed 3 times daily. Little teacup puppies need to eat all day and evening!
- They don't each much at one time because they are so tiny, but they do eat frequently.
- Expect your pup to eat 5 or 6 times a day, a little at a time.
- They should eat every 3 hours. It is your responsibility to make sure they do!
- Hypoglycemia (not eating enough and/or stress) is NOT covered by YorkieBabies.
- Throw out food/water that sits more than 4 hrs & replace it with fresh, purified bottled water.
- Do NOT change food brands for at least 2 months of longer. Must be done gradually.
- Changing brands immediately can cause diarrhea.
Take care of your newest little loved one properly and they will reward you with years of unconditional love in return!!!
