Feeding Bichon Frise puppies requires special care because Bichons have relatively weak digestive systems, especially as puppies. If not fed properly, they can easily suffer from diarrhea and illness. Therefore, in the daily feeding of Bichon Frise puppies, the following four points must be especially noted.

Bichon Frise (Detailed Introduction)

Following these four points greatly reduces the chance of your Bichon Frise puppy getting sick due to improper feeding.

1. Mainly feed dog food, especially do not let Bichon Frise puppies eat human leftover food. Although you love your Bichon very much, do not let your little Bichon regularly eat human leftovers, especially oily dishes, as these foods are not beneficial to Bichons.

Because dogs have different nutritional needs than humans, feeding dogs with human meals is not only time-consuming and troublesome but also makes it difficult for Bichons to get balanced nutrition and can easily cause illness. Dog food is scientifically formulated, tasty, nutritionally complete, easy to digest and absorb, and very convenient to use.

Statistics show that dogs eating dog food long-term live one-third longer than those that do not, and their body odor, breath, and stool odor are greatly reduced. Therefore, feeding Bichon Frise puppies mostly dog food is recommended.

2. Do not feed Bichon puppies hard-to-digest foods. It is best to feed Bichon Frise puppies softened dog food and avoid eggs and offal, as these are difficult for puppies to digest and can cause diarrhea.

Generally, you can mix some dog food into rice porridge to feed them. Also, be careful not to let Bichon puppies swallow hard objects such as ribs, chicken bones, or fish bones, as they can get stuck in the throat and break apart.

If not stuck in the throat, they can slide into the body and puncture the stomach or intestines, which is even more dangerous and can cause internal bleeding, severely affecting the dog's life.

3. Do not overfeed the Bichon Frise. Feed an appropriate amount per meal according to the instructions on the dog food package. If you prepare food yourself, one small bowl is enough. Do not overfeed to avoid digestive issues.

Before three months of age, Bichon puppies should be fed four times a day with fixed feeding times. If after feeding there is no leftover food and the dog lingers around the bowl for a long time, increase the amount slightly next time but never leave leftover food.

4. Do not give snacks between meals. Do not feed Bichon puppies snacks arbitrarily between main meals.

Because once this bad habit develops, it seriously affects the puppy's normal eating and can lead to poor development later. Of course, if your little Bichon obediently follows training, you can give a small amount of snacks as a reward.
