What
Should I Feed My Havanese
This is a question I get asked a lot. Your puppy
will come with about 5-7 days of food so you can start
changing him over to your food of choice slowly right
away. We use a mixture of Eukunuba puppy small
bite and Natural Balance kibble (50% to 50%).
Any high quality puppy food is fine for your puppy, but
if you continue on Eukunuba switch them to adult at 4
months, as they really don't need the high protein that
Euk has after 4 months.
Raw, organic, home made are all individual choices, I
have my opinions but there are as many opinions as dog
owners on these foods. If you go Home Made make
very sure you do your research, high quality food
companies know the right mix of nutrients they do lots
of research and development to provide a healthy
balanced meal, make sure you do the same if you are
considering making your own.
Allergies: Corn is the most common dog food
allergy, but Chicken and Beef and Wheat also appear
sometimes. I would try to stay away from Corn or
foods with heavy fillers. There are lots of good
natural options - generally from small more upscale
petstores. Wellness, Nuvo etc. If your dog
is scratching or getting ear infections or excessive
tearing (all signs of a food allergy), consider a corn
and wheat free food alternative. Remember any food
changes need to be done gradually over 7 days.
I
will add some food label instructions and comparisons on
this page shortly
Tip: When changing food add 1 tablespoon of
pumpkin (canned or fresh mashed - no additives) to the
food bowl. 1/2 a tablespoon for Havanese puppies.
This works really well!!!!
