Feeding: Puppy food & beyond.

Pug puppies initially feed from the mother until around 3-4 weeks when the weaning process begins. Our puppies are fed on Just Pets premium complete puppy dry food. You can contact Just Pets via their Facebook page & twitter or by phone:

Our pugs even feature on their adverts! Their products are very similar to JamesWellBeloved which is available from pet stores like Pets at Home. Products like JamesWellBeloved & Iams are expensive however & the Just Pets food is virtually identical in content but much more cost effective.

If you want to use JamesWellBeloved then look out for offers at Pets at Home etc, eg:

Another business local to us that sells the same food (but slightly more expensive) is The Dog Shop:

To increase their calorie intake during feeding the pup's mothers are fed using puppy food whereas otherwise they would be on adult dry food (again from Just Pets). Initially the puppy food is softened with boiled water (we will show you the correct level) as the pups teeth are growing. We'd recommend that you don't use wet/tinned dog food as you may encounter diarrhoea or wind from your dog. Additional natural foods such as chicken are something we add to the dry food for our adult pugs. You may even want to try tripe, dogs love it but be warned as it smells quite strongly.

Also note: Don't try to change your pug's food too quickly as again they may suffer side effects such as diarrhoea.
