She hasnāt been sick anymore since feeding the raw diet :) she is pooping less, definitely more active and playful, Iām not sure if itās just because she is settling in more .. but overall she is sleeping a lot better too. I couldnāt bare sleeping when I was on constant alert of her maybe...
Just a quick update to everyone. I have thawed the proraw dog food I had purchased and gave her 40g to eat before bed. She was sniffing at first and wasnāt as keen as kibble, as when she has kibble she canāt help but absolutely demolish it š she did eat the raw food and Iāve just crated her away...
I do. Itās in the freezer right now. Iāll go and grab some to defrost and see if she can manage to eat any of that.
It would be a shame of having to throw away $100 bag of the Orijen food if thatās the case. The breeder still has a couple pups left, and I contacted him earlier and theyāre both...
Itās possible Iām over feeding but Iām only giving less than a hand full of kibble each time. Iāll weigh out the next portion to be 1/4 cup precisely.
Itās 10pm here now an all the pet stores are closed. Iām worried about not feeding her and Iām also worried about feeding her more Orijen food...
I've been feeding her 3 times a day, when I wake up, around 9am.. again around 1pm, and 6pm. I'll try feeding her a snack before bed, as the dry heaving always seems to be when she hasn't had a meal for too long.
How many grams of food would you feed an 8 week old puppy? I'm unsure if I've...
Thanks for your advice everyone, she has settled in very well, and has stopped the high-pitched yelling.
However, she did wake me up around 4am with some dry-heaving. From what I can research, this is likely due to acid building up for having too long between meals, so that's something I'll...
Thanks everyone, she has been on-and-off crying in her crate, I've slowly eased her into it, she's currently fast asleep after tuckering herself out crying a bit. I'll see how she does tonight, it's currently 00:50am. She has puppy pads and enough room to go for a wee in her crate, I've set an...
Thanks for all your help guys, you've been amazing, Sash is currently tuckered out and sleeping in her cage. She's been home now for about 2 hours, so I've managed to upload some new pictures below:)

You're completely right! I forgot to order it, and have now ordered it.
Just need some training treats now, that's what I was actually trying to post about when I got distracted! I have a lot going through my mind at the moment trying to get everything prepared. Picking her up in less than 24...
I bought some Orijen kibble, which seems to be a good quality brand based on some posts here. I'm also looking into a raw diet at the moment, but haven't been able to source a good supplier yet. I'll be going to the pet store on Saturday and see what they've got!
Thanks so much for all the info, it's so greatly appreciated. You guys here have given me SO much advice already.
At the moment, I'm not sure what she weighs, but I get to pick her up Friday - so I'll find out as soon as I can.
Yeah, I don't want an unhealthy dog, it's not fair, the dog...
This is exactly what I was thinking, I have read a lot about the fee's involved with vets, and overall it is probably actually just cheaper to pay for the "good" food, and skip a lot of health issues, than having to pay so many vet bills with the cheaper stuff. Also, puppy would be healthier...
