Hi there and thank you for posting your questions. If you are planning on only feeding boiled chicken, rice and boiled egg as the primary diet, I would say that this would be a diet deficient in many vitamins and minerals. If you are planning on formulating your own diet, I would use a reputable website that helps formulate a good diet for Tyson. The website I recommend is called www.balanceit.com There are plenty of commercially available diets that are good as well. If you want to formulate your own diet though, I would strongly urge you to use the above link and purchase a vitamin / mineral supplement. Please feel free to contact me with any further questions / concerns you may have.

    Feeding Tyson that diet for a very short time period would be okay (2-3 days) but a healthy and complete puppy food should be provided. Puppy food is necessary to make sure Tyson grows appropriately and does not develop a nutritional imbalance.
