Dog Food Recipe For Brussels Griffon Puppies

Brussels Griffon generally aren’t greedy lots of small dogs as compare to Toy Spaniels, as a matter of fact, they are usually good feeders and good doers, and not tiresomely dainty with regard to food.

However, Brussel Griffons aren’t the easiest of dogs to rear, especially at weaning time. From five to eight weeks is always a critical period in the puppyhood of a Griffon, and it is necessary to supersede their maternal nourishment with extreme caution.

Like many dogs, regardess of size, breed, age, stray and/or domesticated, feeding farinaceous foods do not answer, and usually cause trouble sooner or later.

Griffon’s diet:

• A small quantity of scraped raw beef about an egg spoonful at four weeks, increasing to a teaspoonful at six, may be given once a day.

• From four to five weeks two additional meals of warm milk (goat’s for preference). Not more than a tablespoonful at a time should be given.

• From five to six weeks the mother will remain with the puppies at night only, and three milk meals may be given during the day, with one of scraped meat, at intervals of about four hours, care being taken to give too little milk rather than too much.

• At six weeks the puppies may usually be taken entirely from the mother, and at this time it is generally advisable to give a gentle vermifuge, such as Ruby. A very little German rusk may also be added to the milk meals, which may be increased to one and a half tablespoonfuls at a time, but it must always be remembered that, in nine cases out of ten, trouble is caused by overfeeding rather than underfeeding, and until the Rubicon of eight weeks has been passed, care and oversight should be unremitting.

• At eight weeks’ old, Force or brown breadcrumbs may be added to the morning milk, chopped meat may be given instead of scraped at midday, the usual milk at teatime, and a dry biscuit, such as Plasmon, for supper.

• At ten weeks old the milk at teatime may be discontinued and the other meals increased accordingly, and very little further trouble need be feared, for Brussels Griffon very rarely suffer from teething troubles.

As I said many times, this dog food diet plan is a general guide in feeding Brussels Griffon puppies, by no means it’s the best dog food recipe for your Griffon needs.
