Sivia preparing the diet
This is the diet adapted to our pug’s need. It has been adopted for 1 month, with improvement of the fur and general health of all them. It is based on the principles of Chinese Medicine, by medical advice of our vet Dr William Estellai, and can be used for all pugs as it comprehends the needs of a significant number of specimens (20 pugs in our kennel). To know more Dr William indicates the book: “Four Paws, Five Directions” of Cheryl Schwartz
To the model proposed by Chinese Medicin, we adapted some sugestions given by the website www.cachorroverde.com.br ( in Portuguese) that indictes Natural Food. (raw food).
We do not intend to assume the responsability on any disturbance caused by this diet. We advise to talk to your vet before offering it to your pug.
