Powedered Barley Flakes

This is a very healthy food for puppies. The quantity for one feeding is about half a cup. You have to grind the flakes with a hand mill -- or a battery-powered one. To this cereal, you will add the following: a teaspoon of elm tree bark flour, a teaspoon of ground almonds and a half a teaspoon of aniseed. Mix well.

From there, add a full spoon of honey. Then add a spoonful of warm water (remember, not hot water which could destroy the vital properties of the honey). And to finish, slowly remove while you go adding a cup of warm milk. Repeat this food twice a day. You can give this same food to the mother of the puppies as well.

If you aren't able to find barley flakes, you can use oat flakes, although they are little bit harder to digest. Soon you will notice the first teeth appearing. It is a round of this time that you must start incorporating raw meat. The natural instinct of the wild bitch is to partly digest the meat in her own stomach and then pass it on to her puppies. Therefore, bearing this in mind, you must have some meat ready. The first preparation of the meat means to simply converted in as digestible a way as is possible without having to turn to cooking it. Hang the meat for a certain time before using it, in order to soften it, and the meat has to be lean. The piece of meat into small chunks (approximately the size of a teaspoon for a normal sized puppy). This quantity will increase every three days until the puppy is eight weeks old, time in which he should be able to eat two spoonfuls of meat chunks. However, you must never grind the meat. At that stage -- 8 weeks -- the puppy will be completely weaned.

Remember that every gram, every particle of food helps the puppy strengthen his limbs. So make sure that all the food that you provide is natural.
