All puppies are microchipped for permanent identification and registered with both the petlynx and M4S ID recovery programs

We feed and recommend either EUKANUBA PUPPY food or KIRKLAND PUPPY food for our puppies. After several years of trial and error we have found that we are pleased enough with both of these foods to comfortably recommend.
