What's the best food for a 10-week chihuahua & flea collar safety?

Question

What type of food should be fed to small 10-11 week old chihuahua? Can I use a flea collar if so what kind? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 2 months and 10 days old | 5 lbs

Bella Marie would benefit from a small breed puppy food. There are many brands available, those made by Hills, Purina and Royal Canin have veterinarians on staff to ensure their diets are well balanced and nutritionally adequate. I do not recommend flea collars-they do nothing for control of the overall flea population, are not very effective and, in a small dog like Bella Marie, run the risk of toxicity as well. Instead speak with your vet about which flea preventatives are most effective in your local area. There are a number of topical and oral forms available and I'm sure you will find one that suits your needs.
