Little Akita feeding recommendations:
Due to the weak digestive ability of Akita puppies, food containing as little fiber as possible should be soft so that it can be digested. Generally within 3~4 months, porridge food or dry food soaked with water is preferred.
Special note: Akita puppies are prone to diarrhea from eating milk. Because milk and dog milk in the composition is very different. Canine mother’s milk has high protein content, three times that of cow’s milk, for a kind of high protein, high fat and low lactose milk, while cow’s milk is the opposite. Therefore, if the milk or food fed to the Akita puppy contains a high amount of high sugar, its intestinal enzyme to digest lactose is insufficient (genetic factors), it will lead to fermentation in the intestinal tract and cause diarrhea. Puppies before three months are fed four times a day; puppies between three and six months are fed three times a day; and after six months are fed twice a day.
