Okay...Here is what I had to get. The other was not found in any of the stores
in my puney town...
It's Diamond Puppy Formula. I put a little in a bowl, softened it up with some
warm water, drained the water and gave it to her. OMG..she went to town on it.
She is now sleeping with a full belly. Should I leave her bowl in her box
overnight with some food in it?
The correct balance of fat, protein, and other essential nutrients ensures your
