#1: High Metabolism – Small Stomachs: Teacup puppies have very tiny stomachs and it is highly encourage that you feed them small meals throughout the day rather than the typical ‘breakfast/dinner’. Feeding them a few times a day will ensure they have enough food to sustain themselves and ensure your baby is properly nourished.
#2: Manufacturer + Brand: Most manufacturers are now offering food specifically designed for proper puppy development. You’ll also find small breed kibble or food readily available. Luxpup recommends you speak with your Vet and determine the best quality food for your little baby. We also remind all our luxpup owners that selecting a diet for their baby is much like their own diet – you should readily be able to read and understand the main ingredients on any label and shy away from product with high fillers like corn, wheat, gluten and meat by products.
#3: Bite Size: Eating is serious business for a luxpup teacup puppy! Make sure you select the smallest kibble available to ensure your baby isn’t ‘working to eat!’.
Your luxpup teacup puppy’s nutrition is a critical piece of his or her’s overall health, ensuring you do your homework and chose the best nutrition available will assist you in having a healthy, playful teacup baby.
