Because Bichon's tend to have allergies that are made worse by proteins, they shouldn't be fed a variety of meats - so try and stick to chicken as much as possible along with a good quality dry kibble. And plenty of fresh water

I found this:

http://www.bichon.org/feeding.htm

What foods should I feed my Bichon?
The first instruction is to provide premium dog food and to avoid generic brands. It used to be that premium foods could not be found at the grocery store but that has changed in recent years. There are some brands of foods that are better for your pet than others. We do not offer specific brand names but you can sometimes use low price as a guide in that cheaper food may be an indication of poorer quality of the ingredients. Ask your local pet supply store for a list of premium foods and choose from among those. Up to about one year of age, this will also mean a Puppy formula as opposed to adult foods.

In a recent health seminar at the BFCA National Specialty, a noted veterinarian with years of experience with treating Bichons pointed out that “the proteins eaten early in life can improperly stimulate the immature immune system, an especially critical factor for the Bichon Frise with a known predisposition to allergies”. What this means is that you will probably set your puppy up to have allergies later in life by feeding him a variety of proteins (meats and other high protein foods). The most appropriate meat for a dog at this time in his life is chicken so avoid foods that use another meat as a major part of the diet! In recent years, lamb and rice diets have become quite popular but dogs do not digest rice that well and a lamb diet is not necessary for a young dog.

I hope this helps...

A what? A "BESHON FRESA"? What is that? Do you mean a BICHON FRISE?

I think Innova (EVO for older dog, PUPPY for puppy) and a raw diet (BARF) is the best diet you could possible give a dog. http://www.barfworld.com is a good website for information on the raw diet or http://naturapet.com for information on the Innova food. A good thing about Innova is is that they use human grade ingrediets and they are NOT on the dog food recall list!

A bichon frise should eat a premium dog food (wellness, precise, nutro) to help it grow at the proper rate and give it all the best nutrients possible. While a lot of people want to give toy breeds wet food, it is also best to feed them dry food so their teeth stay strong.

If you are eating a balanced diet - give it a small plate of your food -they also like cat nibbles.
