Our Recommended Dog Food: Nutrition You Can Trust

What Food Should You Feed Your New dog?

One of the very first questions we hear from new puppy families is:
“What food do you recommend?”

It’s a great question — and an important one. The food you choose has a major impact on your dog’s growth, energy levels, overall health, and long-term well-being. As breeders, we take this decision seriously because it’s not just a recommendation — it’s the same food we feed our mom dogs and the food our puppies are raised on from the very beginning.

That’s why we confidently recommend TLC Pet Food.


What Makes TLC Pet Food Different?

TLC is more than just a typical bag of dog food. It’s premium, thoughtfully crafted nutrition designed with intention—every ingredient serves a purpose in your dog’s overall health. From puppyhood through adulthood, here’s what your dog gets in every bowl:

Nutrition We Rely On and Trust

When we started our program we were looking for a brand to feed our dogs throughout all stages of life. We came across Taste of the Wild (TOTW) while looking for a well balanced nutrition panel. Shortly after switching we quickly noticed our dogs thick and shiny coats. If we were noticing how great it was working first hand on our own dogs, then we knew it would be great for our future breeding dogs and puppies.

Nutrition is key to living a long heathy life!

Good nutrition is the foundation to having a healthy dog, successful pregnancies, and nourished puppies. As puppies start to wean off of the mother, we believe it is very important to feed puppies high-quality food right from the start. Around 5 weeks of age we start introducing a soaked Taste of the Wild puppy food. Puppies need a formulated dog food to meet the nutritional needs for development. If puppies are receiving a good quality food, balanced diet, they are less likely to need additional vitamins or supplements later on in life.

Feeding your puppy: the 1st year timeline

  • 6–12 weeks: Growing pups should be fed puppy food so they get the nutritional needs for normal development. Four feedings a day are usually adequate to meet nutritional demands.

  • 3–6 months: Sometime during this period, you can decrease feedings from four to three times a day.

  • 6–12 months: Begin feeding twice daily.

  • After age 1: Once they turn one switch from nutrient-rich puppy food to adult maintenance food.

*All puppies are different, so if you have any concerns or questions about your puppy’s food, feeding schedule, or nutritional health, always consult your veterinarian.
