Hi, we are adopting a rescue puppy next week. Although she was born in the rescue her mum was a skinny stray who was only found when she was literally about to whelp .
This will be our first dog and there’s so much info out there on what to feed her that I’m getting really confused! I’m conscious that although she’ll have been fed adequately in the rescue, her poor mum won’t have had good antenatal nutrition. To complicate matters, she’s coming from overseas so I can’t just keep her on what she’s on currently.
She’ll be 16 weeks when she arrives and she’s little, her estimated adult size is likely to be around the King Charles Spaniel region.
The very supportive rescue has advised fish / chicken and rice for the first few days as she’s likely to be unsettled from the transport. But what then? This little pup hasn’t had the greatest start and I really want to get it right for her.
Thank you!
