Buying A Puppy Suggestions - continues

You should use a quality puppy food for your Saint Bernard puppy.  Be sure to find out what the breeder is feeding them; they should provide you with a small amount of food when you take your puppy home.  The breeder will tell you how often to feed them and the amount.  If you want to change your puppy’s food, be sure to slowly introduce the new food.  This type of change can be very upsetting to their system and cause diarrhea.  Puppy food is more expensive than adult food; the puppy food contains the right amount of nutrients necessary for healthy growth.  I have always fed puppy food for the first year, and then gradually change to the adult formula.  I do know that many breeders do not recommend using puppy food for the entire first year.  This is something you will have to decide for yourself, consult your veterinarian.
