What to feed in your dog instead of the recalled foods?

Definitive Guide to the Dog Food Recall
Any food that is not on the recall list is safe and can be substituted for a contaminated product. The important thing to remember is that although this is an extensive recall, commercially available diets are still the best option for your pets overall health. Home made diets are often lacking in nutrients and can subject your pet to other more common contaminates such as salmonella. Ask your veterinarian for suggestions on what would be a suitable diet change for your dog or cat.

Yes, it confuses me too! However, commercial dog food companies have got the advertising part down amazingly well. They have entered the market at every point.

See Spot Sit, LLC - Frequently Asked Questions
Young puppies are usually fed three times per day. I typically wean a puppy off of the mid-day meal starting around 5 months of age, by gradually moving the lunch portion to breakfast and dinner over the course of about 2 weeks. You could do this sooner if your schedule is not amenable to feeding a puppy lunch, but pups younger than about 12 weeks really should have three meals.

Can my older dog handle a puppy?

Frequently Asked Questions about Toy, Tiny, and Teacup Poodl...
This depends entirely on the personality of your older dog. Really old dogs will not like a puppy jumping all over them, especially if they have anything wrong with them or they are in poor health. If your dog is not old or ill, it may take some time to get them used to a new puppy, but they will give in eventually. Puppies are lively and spunky and tend to not give up on making friends. Just be sure to feed them separately so there are no fights.

A good guideline for feeding is your puppy's age. Three months old = 3 cups, four months old = 4 cups, 5 months old = 5 cups. We usually stop at 5 cups, at which your puppy should eat until his first birthday. If he is still growing, continue with 5 cups. Afterwards, bring the feeding down to 4 cups/day. If your dog is not as active and seems to be 'full' or getting fat, cut it down to 3 cups. Your dog will tell you if he is still hungry.

We do NOT recommend combining a raw food diet in the same meal as processed foods. The digestive rate for dry processed food is much longer than for raw foods which can cause digestive disturbances.
