An Introduction By Andrew Lewis Having a new puppy in the house is a wonderful and exciting time.

• Getting to know each. • Enjoying the fun and innocence. • Being surprised at how much he loves you even though you only just

met!

It’s also a wonderful opportunity to start of your dog’s life the right way… it’s an opportunity that only comes once in a dog’s life and its rarely seized.

If you can manage it, don’t rely on commercial puppy food to feed your new best friend, instead fill that little body with pure, natural goodness direct from nature.

This is the way you ensure the 2 of you are still BBFs long after other dog’s of the same breed have become ill and passed away because their owners fed them 100% commercial garbage.

But the needs of your new little girl are different to that of an adult dog.. his body is growing, her teeth and bones are developing so a special diet is required.

It’s for these reasons, we decided it’s time to create a book specifically for feeding puppies beginning from milk replacement to weaning to teething and right through puppy-hood to adulthood.

Get your puppy recipes from here and when she reaches 10 months of age, it will be time to begin preparing the ultra-nutritious recipes you find in Dog Food SECRETS.

I’m so excited for you!

May your puppy have a long and happy life,

Andy

Calorie Requirements For Newborn Pups

Calorie requirements, as you might imagine, increase as your puppy grows.

Below is a chart which explains how many calories your puppy requires per pound of body weight.

There are too many variable to give precise recommendations but this guide is a good place to start.

Recommended Calorie Intake For Puppies

Pup's Age in Weeks Calories Per Lb Per Day 1 60 - 69 2 70 - 79 3 80 - 89

4 and beyond 90 - 100 You’ll notice each recipe gives advice on feeding amount by age of dog

per pound of body weight, which has been based on this chart data.

Beautiful!

Puppy Growth Rate

The following chart is not 100% accurate but it gives a general idea of the growth rate to expect from your dog.

It can be interesting to use this chart to estimate how big your dog will be when its fully grown.

Again, its not entirely accurate and never could be when one chart is to be used for hundreds of different breeds but it will give you a respectable ball-park idea of your dog’s final size.

But more importantly, use this chart to make sure your dog is developing correctly by taking weight measurements and recording them at the monthly milestones.

And if for example you notice that at 3 months your puppy’s weight has only increased by 15% since its 1st month weigh-in, then there may be something wrong and would be prudent to visit your vet for a check-up.

Be sure to take the recordings with you to the vet because it will prove very useful in determining if there is any need to be further concerned.

Generally, smaller breed dogs reach their final weight before larger dogs and therefore you could expect them to be 100% of adult body weight as soon as 9 months. The larger the breed, the longer it takes to reach full size.

“Ahh… it’s good to be me!”

Puppy Vaccination & Worming Schedule This schedule follows what is recommended by mainstream veterinary

medicine, however holistic veterinarians believe that we should not vaccinate puppies until they are weaned and then most certainly vaccinate them less frequently than a mainstream vet recommends.

We suggest you consult a holistic vet or speak to your regular vet and

ask them about blood testing for antibodies to be sure regular immunizations are necessary, because it has been shown and is increasingly recognized that antibodies can remain in the blood for up to three years making yearly vaccinations unnecessary and damaging to the dog’s immune system.

Puppy Nutrient Requirements

Puppy food is not much different than adult dog food. They eat the same ingredients, but the ratios are slightly different (below is a rough-and-ready guide):

Puppies Adult Dogs 50 % protein 40 % protein

10 % fat 10 % fat 20 % carbohydrates 25% carbohydrates

20 % vegetables 25% vegetables

What varies more though is the consistency of the food as they are born without teeth, which develop later but are still not capable of hard food until 2 months of age.

The 5 Stages of Puppy Feeding

But first puppies must go through the stages of puppy feeding, beginning with breast feeding on mother’s milk, before they are ready to eat a solid meal.

Below are the 4 stages of puppy feeding, when they occur and what to do:

Stage 1: Breast Feeding (birth to 4 weeks)

Puppies rely on their mother’s milk for the first 3.5 - 4 weeks of life (in the wild it can be longer but generally domesticated dogs are removed from their mother at around 6 weeks and then removed from the litter at 8 weeks of age & therefore must have their intestinal tract accustomed to solid food earlier).

Stage 2: Weaning (4 to 6 weeks)

Initially, while the puppy is still nursing, get it used to the food by placing a dab of mushy puppy food on its paw and let it lick the food off.

Page 10: Pack Your Puppy With Power - Amazon Web Serviceshk9.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/Pack-Your-Puppy-With-Power.pdf · Pack Your Puppy With Power By Andrew Lewis 7 Puppy Growth Rate Age

Once its teeth appear leave it a bowl of food and it won’t be too long before it makes the switch.

It has occurred naturally without our assistance for millions of years so don’t ‘stress’ over the process.

Generally you will find that a puppy can be completely weaned from mother’s milk by 6 weeks.

Stage 3: Teething (5 weeks to 2 months)

A puppy’s food needs to be mushier than an adult dog because its gums are tender and they are teething (this commences at about five weeks of age continuing until about three months of age which is when their adult teeth replace their "milk teeth").

Use of a handheld masher or preferably a food processor or blender helps to make the food prepared into a puree i.e. ‘mushy, similar to human baby food.

Stage 4: Solid Food Puppy Food (2 months to 10 months) The transition to eating solid food generally occurs by the time it is two

months. At this stage refrain from making the food ‘mushy’ so that it can now exercise its new teeth. Until puppies are approximately nine months of age (slightly less if smaller breed) they remain on high-protein foods. Some small breeds reach maturity sooner than larger breeds. It is advisable to consult your veterinarian for advice on this subject.

Stage 5: Change to an Adult Diet (10 months onwards)

By the time your dog is 9 or 10 months old, it is ready to begin feeding on an adult diet, at which time you can begin using the ultra-healthy recipes in your copy of Dog Food SECRETS.

Smaller dogs will reach stage 5 at about 9 months while larger dogs will not be ready for adult food until they are 10 months old.

Recipes for Puppies

How to Calculate the Percentage of Pup’s Daily Calorie Req’t Met

There is a wide age and weight range that comes into play when

dealing with puppies. They’re also rapidly and constantly growing. This means that we can’t give you the Percentage of Daily Calorie Requirement Met that we have for adult dog recipes, because that would require an entire age versus weight versus breed chart for each recipe, with a lot of rows to read That not only looks unwieldy, it’s also pretty impractical since your puppy’s weight and age ratios change quite fast. Besides, you need information that’s pertinent to your puppy’s needs.

Instead, we’ve gone and made a custom formula for you, allowing you

the freedom to keep up with the changing values of your pup’s weight and age, and the independence from too many needless charts and rows. This formula will let you be able to calculate with the most efficiency, as well as the most specificity exactly according to your puppy’s needs.

A. Pup’s Target Weight as He Ages x Pup’s Recommended Calorie Intake

= Pup’s Daily Calorie Req’t

B. Recipe’s Total Calorie Count ----------------------------- = Percentage of Pup’s Daily Cal Req’t Met Pup’s Daily Calorie Req’t

Don’t be daunted, the formula is designed to be very simple. You only need the most basic arithmetic and we’ve provided all the necessary information for you. Simply follow these instructions.

1. Find your Pup’s Target Weight as He Ages by obtaining an age versus weight breeding chart from either your breeder, or online. It must be specific to your puppy’s breed. It should show puppy weights starting from birth, and projected target weights as weeks go by. This sample chart below, for example, shows values for a toy dog. The breed chart you get should look similar to this, but specific to your puppy breed.

TABLE 1 (example table)

Birth (0 weeks) .15 lbs .22 lbs .28 lbs .34 lbs 1 week .23 lbs .34 lbs .50 lbs .59 lbs 2 weeks .31 lbs .43 lbs .69 lbs .84 lbs 3 weeks .37 lbs .56 lbs .87 lbs 1.09 lbs 4 weeks .43 lbs .69 lbs 1.06 lbs 1.31 lbs 5 weeks .50 lbs .81 lbs 1.21 lbs 1.5 lbs 6 weeks .56 lbs .94 lbs 1.37 lbs 1.69 lbs 7 weeks .62 lbs 1.06 lbs 1.53 lbs 1.87 lbs 8 weeks .69 lbs 1.19 lbs 1.69 lbs 2.06 lbs 2 months .69 lbs 1.19 lbs 1.69 lbs 2.06 lbs 4 months 1.25 lbs 2.12 lbs 3.06 lbs 3.69 lbs 6 months 1.62 lbs 2.81 lbs 4.06 lbs 4.87 lbs

2. Find the Pup’s Recommended Calorie Intake using this table:

TABLE 2

Recommended Calorie Intake For Puppies Pup's Age in Weeks Calories Per Lb Per Day

1 64 2 74 3 84

4 and beyond 94

3. Multiply Pup’s Target Weight as He Ages with Pup’s Recommended Calorie Intake to get Pup’s Daily Calorie Req’t.

4. Go to the recipe you want. Get the Recipe’s Total Calorie Count, provided in the bottom of the calorie list. Divide it by the Pup’s Daily Calorie Req’t that you got earlier. You will get the Percentage of Pup’s Daily Cal Req’t Met!

Example:

1. Let’s say our puppy was born at .28 lbs and he’s 4 weeks old. We would see this Pup’s Target Weight as He Ages is 1.06 lbs in Table 1 (we’re using our sample table for Toy Dogs. You would need to use a table specific to your puppy’s breed if he’s larger than that).

2. Using Table 2, we find that the Pup’s Recommended Calorie Intake is 94 calories per lb per day. 3. To get the Pup’s Daily Calorie Req’t, we multiply 1.06 by 94.

1.06 lbs ---------- = Pup’s Daily Calorie Req’t = 99.64 calories 94

4. Let’s say the dish you like has 350 calories as the Recipe’s Total Calorie Count. We divide that by the Pup’s Daily Calorie Req’t, which is 99.64 calories.

350 cal -------- = Percentage of Pup’s Daily Cal Req’t Met = 351%! 99.64

Special Note: Don’t be concerned if calculating calories and amounts to feed your pup looks too difficult because we have to remember canines evolved successfully for millions of years without you or I looking over them, so it’s not a matter of life and death.

The charts and calculations are provided so you can be sure your pup is eating adequately, but controlling calories does not really become an issue until you have an adult dog.

puppy food with the milk and water. 9. After a full day of this, use only the ground dog food and water,

eliminating the milk. 10. After two full days of this, ease up on the grinding of the puppy

food, so it is a little coarser. 11. Gradually increase the amount of the puppy food and water

mixture until the puppies are leaving some leftover, then cut back a bit.

12. Also, continue to gradually decrease the grinding until the puppies are eating whole kibble. You can continue to mix with water to provide a ”gravy."
