Black Gold Explore Puppy Food is fully adequate and may be fed to puppies as soon as they will nibble at solid food (usually around 3 weeks of age). Start feeding your puppy a moist mixture containing 2 parts food to 1 part warm broth or water. The amount of liquid may be gradually reduced as the puppy grows older.
Puppies and growing dogs should be fed all they will consume in 3 - 4 feedings per day until they are about 6 months old. At that time, their food allowance should be gradually adjusted. Through proper food allowance and exercise, puppies should be kept in lean muscular condition until about 1 - 1/2 years of age.
When transitioning your dog to Black Gold Explorer Dog Food, substitute a small amount of current food with Black Gold Explorer, gradually increase over a six day period. Suggested transition as follows:
This food has caused diarrhea in my puppy. Vet told us to start a bland diet to help ease the diarrhea. Even slowly transitioning back to this kibble, she had immediate diarrhea.
We love this food. Our puppy gets all the nutrients that she needs.
I got this from my breeder and really wanted to continue feeding to my puppy.Its a great food and she loved it. It only comes in a 40lb bag which is way too big for how much my puppy needs to eat and ony having a 6 week shelf life once opened. I wish it came smaller.
Puppy food is premium. Decent smell. Overall price was good compared to other vendors. Hard to find for sure! Chewy came to the rescue. In the end we had to change foods for our Puppy. But I still want to give it a good review because it's not the company's fault, my pup just needs a different kind of diet unfortunately! Still 5*!! Overall!
My puppies love it. Thank u And a great price. Already recommend this company to my friends and they love the fast delivery and the prices.
Got a sample from the breeder, and tried to switch our pup to a more mainstream brand. Puppy wouldn’t do it, so bought Black Gold from Chewy, and this is all he will eat. 3x a day he devours this stuff. I will stick with what works. It is a higher priced item, but what do I know? I am just the dumb human in the room.
This is the food our breeder uses and what he sent home with our puppy. Our puppy devours it! His coat is soft, eyes bright and he has plenty of energy! Stool is firm and good frequency. Maybe not "the best of the best" but seems to work well for us and our pup.
This is what the breeder was feeding the litter so we went with this! She hoovers it, it seems easy to chew and we get good poops!
Worst food EVER!! my puppy had diarrhea for days and it became so bad for him he was waking up multiple times a night. This was not what I expected with the recommendations from other users. It was horrible he was so sick from the food no other causes were confirmed by vet
Bought a 40lb bag of Black Gold Puppy Food for $30 more than a local place retails it for....should have done my research. More expensive & less convenient!
