How often should I feed my puppy wet food, and should I vary flavors?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Shih Tzu | Female | unspayed | 2 months and 6 days old | 3 lbs

What puppy food do you recommend? Currently feeding her Purina Pro Plan Focus Lamb & Rice Formula Dry Puppy Food. Should wet food be given daily along with wet food? Or, do you feed them either or (just wet food or just dry food)? Also, do you recommend switching up the flavor of dog food so they don’t get tired of the same food over and over? Im new to having a puppy; my apolgies for bombarding with questions.

You can ask all the questions you want! Purina ProPlan is an excellent food, I highly recommend it. Do not switch it, switching food causes GI upset in dogs. They don't get bored with the flavor of food, they will happily eat the same flavor of food their whole life. Dry food is just fine, but you can give Bailey some wet food as a treat once a week. I hope this helps!
