How old should Bichon dogs be to eat dog food?

Dogs

Dog food is one of the best foods for dogs! Although many people think dogs do not necessarily have to eat dog food, in fact, the nutritional needs of dogs are quite different from humans, so feeding Bichon dogs with dog food is the healthiest and safest choice.

1. How old should Bichons be to eat dog food?

1. Generally speaking, Bichon puppies can start eating dry dog food at about two months old. At this time, their teeth are developing, and starting too late will affect the dental development of the Bichon dog.

2. The amount can be adjusted based on stool condition. Each dog is different; normally stool occurs two to three times a day. Soft stool means overeating, hard stool means underfeeding, so food quantity can be adjusted accordingly.

2. It’s best to have a transition period when Bichons eat dog food

Generally, when puppies are young, dog food should be soaked in warm water to soften it. As they grow, they can eat dry food directly. You can gradually replace food and shorten soaking time to help Bichons get used to eating dry dog food.

For example, from about one and a half to two and a half months, Bichon puppies basically eat soaked food. After three months, they eat completely dry food, which is safest.
