What is the best dog food for a 7 week old cocker spaniel?
Answers:
OK at 7 weeks it should still be with mom...
That being said get a GOOD QUALITY dry food like Canidae All Life Stages

Check the chart on the side of the bag, determine the amount according to the dog's weight, and divide it by 3, feed breakfast lunch and supper. At 7 weeks of age the stomach is not big enough to hold all the daily nutritional requirements in 1 or 2 feedings.
Another reason to get a quality food with no fillers like corn or wheat...
You may need to mix it with a little water or milk at first. At least with the Canidae you will not need to switch her food again later.
He should still be drinking milk!
Dog milk.
Pups need mommy till they are 10 weeks old.
Here are a few that are good: Solid Gold, Wellness, Canidae, Timberwolf Organics, Innova Evo, California Natural and Artemis Fresh Mix, all of these come in puppy formula except Canidae because that is an all stage food. There are few more but these are really good. They may be a bit pricey initially but they come out cheaper because you feed less. These are 100% human grade dog food with NO corn, wheat, soy, grain fractions, fillers or by products 鈥?and naturally preserved.
One of the ones that were recalled.
get the dog on growth food. I have my puppy on Eukanba for growth. she really likes this food and is getting big. for the first year they have to have dog food with growth.
Do not feed him Iams My cockers had a lot of bowel problems with Iams. Cocker spaniels have a tendency to have allergies and with two of my cockers Iams set them off. Candaie seems the best so far. Their coats have improved their isn't anymore dry skin and they look awesome. Its also very heatlhy for them
