Just prior to their 7 week birthday the pups will have
a visit from our vet. Yes, our vet comes to us. Palmetto Vet Calls
is Dr. Trey Wofford's, D.V.M. business and it works well with us. He can tend
to most any health issue in the back of his mobile unit. All the pups
will get their first series of shots and worming at this time.
Nutrition
This is an important subject around here. We
prepare a good bit of our dogs food and all of their treats. We supplement
it with high quality dog food from Victor. We have,
in the past, seen first hand what poisons are available in some commercial dog
foods and treats. We are very attentive and careful about what we prepare
and feed our dogs.
Only the best ingredients are used.
Each nightly portion
consist of 1/3 a pound of raw ground turkey, about a cup of mixed vegetables
usually peas and carrots, then we add about a tablespoon of Solid Gold Seameal
for their coats. We round it off by adding about 2 - 1/2 cups of Victor
Nutra Pro dog food for active dogs and puppies. Mix it all up and serve
it.
We prepare about 3 days of dog food at a time
so that they are always getting it fresh. The recipe for dinner is below
and the most irresistible treats follows that.
