We have several different options when it comes to dog food and everyone has a different preference; from the ingredients to the style of food. We are going to provide a couple different option for you to decide what works best for your lifestyle!
As always, gradually switch your Frenchies’ food. Doing it abruptly can cause an upset stomach! We recommend:
4-5 days: 3/4 of the old food and 1/4 of new food
5-10 days: 1/2 of the old food and 1/2 of the new food
10-14 days: 1/4 of the old food and 3/4 of the new food
15 days and beyond: 100% New food
Any time you switch the dog food repeat this process.
If you have any questions, feel free to call or text Christina at 859-893-3862

Freeze dried:
Stella and Chewy: Duck Ducky Goose. This is the food Christina feeds her Frenchie, Peanut. Peanut would say it’s the “very, very, very, very, very, BEST”. Stella and Chewy is real raw nutrition in the convenience of freeze-dried patties. Serve as is or rehydrate by adding warm water. It is made in USA kitchens with cage-free poultry and 100% organic-certified fruits and vegetables. From Christina: “I love this food as it is easy to travel with and light weight. Peanut is a very picky eater. I tried to give her dry kibble but, she went on a hunger strike. I switched her over to Stella and Chewy and she comes dancing into the kitchen when she hears the bag open” CLICK HERE FOR THE LINK
