Puppies have different nutritional requirements than adult dogs so the amount of protein, calcium and calories will differ. As a general rule, after your Bichon has been welped from its mother, it will need to be fed 3 to 4 times a day up until it is 12 weeks old. Between the ages of 3 to 6 months, 3 meals a day should be fed, spaced out throughout the day. Over 6 months and thereafter, the puppies will require 2 recommended feedings daily. Once they reach a year old, one feeding a day might be sufficent.
What diet do you recommend for Bichons? Did your dog ever get sick because of an inferior dog food? Share your story with us now... More Bichon puppies feeding advice....Try to always feed your Bichon Frise puppy a premium puppy food, preferably no cheap stuff. Some of the brands of premium food to look for would be Eagle Pack, which is our favorite, Innova and Taste of the Wild.To be brutally honest, non-premium dog foods contain a lot of fillers and by-products. These by-products are in many cases roadkill or slaughterhouse leftovers considered unfit for human consumption. So, why would you feed it to your dog? These inexpensive dog foods, mostly sold at supermarkets and many retail chains, will dramatically increase your Bichon Frise puppy's chances of having severe dog allergies and other health issues.

Our youngest Bichon Frise, Emily, was always having severe problems with her sensitive skin. She was continually chewing and biting off her hair on all parts of her body all the way down to bare bone and bloody skin. We couldn't figure out what was the cause of this. Did she have fleas? Was she allergic to the grass outside? Was something inside our house bothering her? We needed to find out the reason quickly because Emily was becoming very sad and miserable. After trying everything that we could think of, including going to the vet, we decided to change her diet as a last ditch effort. We investigated the best dog foods, premium dog foods, allergy dog food and holistic dog food options. We decided to try Eagle Pack Holistic Select. After a week on Eagle Pack, our wish and Emily's came true. She was no longer biting and chewing her hair off. She has been on the Eagle Pack diet for over a year now and has not had one single reoccurence. Just as the story above illustrates, your dog's diet can really influence her health. Make sure you feed your dog a healthy diet. One of the best ways to do that is to use a brand with a good, solid reputation. Another way is to make your own homemade dog treats And that is the best Bichon puppies feeding advice!
