thats great, just remember he is a puppy and has alot of energy so you HAVE to walk him EVERY day. even if you can't be there for him everyday you need to hire someone to do it for you or get family to do it for you. also it's NEVER to early to start training him!!

There is no need to be adding the milk, eggs, and rice with the food. You need to consult a vet about the diet you are feeding the puppy. Milk is very hard for there little stomachs to digest. I would say instead of feeding the puppy the pedigree I would go with a better dog food like Iams. That is one of the best dog foods out there. You always want to feed your dog a dog food in which the first ingredient is always a meat of some kind. If it says ground yellow corn first, then it is defiantly not good for them. Goodluck!

that's actually not the best diet for any dog to be on, much less a growing puppy. dogs are lactoseintolerant and the milk is probably giving him gas and diarrhea, and making him uncomfortable. eggs are fine as an occasional supplemental treat, but make sure they're cooked thoroughly. also, there are many other better dog food brands available at major pet stores than pedigree. a rule of thumb is that if a dog food has commercials on tv, it's not very good quality. the good stuff doesn't need advertising. but if you're satisfied with the results you're getting, then no need to worry.

I'd wait until 8-12 months before switching to an adult food. Rule of thumb for dogs is a puppy becomes a dog at 1 year old, but larger breeds age faster. Oh and looks for something other than Pedigree its like feeding your dog roadkill.

Raw eggs are not good for dogs, or anything else for that matter. Milk is very bad for dogs, milk is really only for baby cows unless you can find some dog milk. Rice is okay, but not necessary. Just read the label on you bag of Pedigree, and feed the amount it says to for your dog's weight . It's very good that you're feeding twice a day.

Fresh eggs should not be feed every day nor should milk, this if anything should only be once a week. I wouldn't feed milk at all.
I wouldn't be feeding supermarket products to any dog but that's just my opinion that they're junk food for dogs.
I would be speaking with the breeder to get their reccomendation. If you didn't get your dog from a registered breeder then I would reccomend you research premimum kibble such Iams, Royal Canin & find that one that is most suitable for your puppy.
What you're currently feeding your dog is not what dogs should eat....in the wild do dogs eat rice? Nope.
Many people like to feed B.A.R.F which is a raw diet.
Feeding your dog twice a day is fine as long as it's feed in the right amount.

There is no reason to feed it milk and eggs and rice. Dogs lack a protein in their tummies that would help with digestion of milk so it is actually not good for them.
I strongly recommend you stop with the people food and continue with the puppyfood for a couple more months. The good puppy and dog foods meet all of the dog's nutrition.
You may certainly feed a treat now and then or for training. I suggest if you use treats for training that you use cheerios. You can give one and it's low cal and low fat and they think they are getting a treat.

My Vet would have a stroke if I told him I was feeding a dog Raw eggs and milk....The Pedigree alone should be fine..most decent dog foods are made 100%complete...Its all the Dogs need! I use rice a bit at the shelter for dogs who have upset stomachs and are parasite fee...It helps Stop it..I start with just rice and slowing add their food back init..If I have cooked Extra I feed it to a really skinny dog who may have comed in half starved..Rice adds Fat to dogs...Its a Carb! I really think you should talk to your Vet...I know they all think diffrently But My Vet would really Blow a Gasket..Especially Uncooked Eggs!!!!!

That's not a very good diet for a pup. Find a better quality dry food and feed some meat and vegetables as well. The egg is OK twice a week but not every day.

Raw eggs and milk are very bad for dogs. Dogs cannot drink milk it makes them very sick. Also, raw eggs are full of disease and bacteria so please do not give the puppy these foods.
No feeding a puppy rice will not do there is no nourishment there and the puppy will get so constipated he might die.
Get a good dry puppy food and take the puppy to the Vet and learn how to take care of the poor thing

raw eggs contains apigment avidin which binds esssential vitamin biotin ..and also if u r playing with ur pet,the odour really puts off some people so it would be better if u can give boiled egg..one is enough..which breed??..u can also experiment with diff home food like vegetables or dal so that he is not totally dependent on eggs alone..as it might create problem later in life
