October 26, 2009: The Irish Wolfhound puppy grows very quickly, at a rate of three to five pounds a week. For a sixteen week old puppy that growth rate translates to 6 to 10% weekly: staggering. Proper nutrition is essential. Bó and Brí are fed Canidae: a high quality dog food that comes in both dry and canned form. Here's the nutritional information for the dry variety: Canidae All Life Stages Formula.
The protein source is chicken, lamb, beef and turkey. The puppies receive two bowls of Canidae a day each. They go through a 44 pound bag in just under a week, so they're each eating at least 1½ pounds (0.7 kg) at each sitting. In the mornings, they each receive a half can of wet food mixed in. In the evenings finally chopped chicken or beef is mixed in. They love the food and wolf it down aggressively at each sitting.
