I make a puppy cereal up out of whatever kibble they will be weaned on to. Soak it in how water and then mash to the desired consistency

Yes I have fed BARF and loved it and what it did for my dogs. I just found it too time consuming for the number of dogs I had to prepare it for. BTW I find many arctic breeds benefit from extra zinc in the diet, helps stop hot spots from developing. I use Blackmore's ZinVit250

Colloidal Silver (Sp) available from Health Foods stores works a treat on small cuts, bites etc. I have never tried it on large surgery scars but I use it EVERY time my dogs get an injury. It works like an antiseptic and heals at the same time.
