Re: Pup limping
I guess I'll find that out when the ELISA results come back.. They did a a rapid test at office just to determine if pup was infected with the Lyme bacterium.Did vet say what blood cell levels were?
Test also checks for heartworm and 2 other tick-borne infections.

Re: Is puppy food actually necessary?
Yes...I think maybe what you are asking though is what percent protein
He's on 24% now, I saw one of his litter mates today and he looked pudgy and he's on 30%, I think my pup is right on track...
Thanks for the reply Ezzy

Re: Is puppy food actually necessary?
Ezzy, so for a large breed dog(GSP)how much protein do you recommend a puppy should have, and at what age do you give it more protein? ThanksI think you will find more and more people that don't feed it since the premium feeds are almost identical and much cheaper.
