You should refer your puppy back to the vet.

TBH no dog should be fed milk post weaning as most are lactose intolerant.

How old is your puppy and how many times is she fed per day and how much and what ELSE do you feed her eg milk?

Why not just feed her the dry food as this is complete? Probably better for her tum to have one food?

I would also be feeding her twice a day by now, three at the most.

I use Dorwest Herbs Digestive Supplement tablets for gugrly tummies, although I would check with your vet first.

To be honest I would follow what the vet says but try to find a grain and wheat free diet for your pup as she may be allergic to those As a rule the first 2-3 ingredients on the food should be meat, Applaws is a good food thats cheapish, i think most of us would agree pedigree is pants food, http://www.petsathome.com/shop/appla...528to+1yr%2529

I dont use this myself i use orijen but its pricey, taste of the wild, is good too and Acana but have a look around, and whatever you do, make sure you make any food changes slowly over the week
