The best food for your 1-month-old puppy would be its mother’s milk. Ensure that you take good care of the pregnant and lactating mama dog, so she can produce good-quality milk for her little puppies.
It’s important to change diets gradually. Switching diets too quiickly can cause vomiting, diarrhea, or excess gas. Any time you decide to change your dog’s deits, you should transition to the new diet gradually in order to give your dog’s system time to adjust to the change. Ideally, these transaction should happen over 7-10 days. **This is just a guideline, and you can increase transition time if your pet is particularly sensitive.
