Dog Food – Please read the info below fully before placing an order

Your puppy will be used to eating a mixture of proteins in their dry kibble to ensure they are getting all the benefits different proteins can provide. Dogs also enjoy a variety of food! Your puppy will be eating 2 different proteins with PawTree dry food. The two proteins are pawTree Chicken & Oatmeal Recipe and pawTree Salmon & Peas & Sweet Potato Recipe. These foods are not available in retail stores. They are organic foods which contain no dyes, preservatives, by-products, GMO’s, corn, soy, or gluten and all products are produced in the USA. They are the highest quality foods we have found. You can order kibble online and it will be delivered to your home. It is recommended that you buy a bag of each and mix them together. We also recommend the Core 4 supplements to keep your puppy healthy during the critical growth stages during the first year.

Please take time to watch this 15 minute video made to help you understand the importance of proactive pet parenting and how to double your standard 2 year genetic defect warranty to 4 years prior to placing your order: https://vimeo.com/1001305960?share=copy#t=0. If you do not wish to provide all the products in the Core 4, the most important ones to start are the Gastro Pro Plus that will help your puppy to avoid the stress induced diarrhea from the transition from us to you and the Salmon Oil that is important for continued brain development, heart, skin, and coat health.

We have created an account for you using the email address you provided on your application to purchase your puppy. Because orders can take up to 2 weeks to arrive, please place your order at least 3 weeks before your puppy comes home to you to ensure you have food available upon your puppy’s arrival by following these steps:

  • Go to www.Pawtree.com/fcf
  • Sign in as a new customer using the email address provided on your application. If you wish to place an order using a different email, please contact us so we can get your account updated to that email address. You will need to create a password for your account.
  • Choose the menu item “My Recommendations”. There you will find three lists of the things we feel are essential to have before you receive your puppy.

It is suggested that you continue feeding these high quality foods throughout the life of your puppy/dog. If you decide you would like to change brands, it is recommended that you allow your puppy to settle into its new home without transitioning the food it is used to eating for the first month.

Two important notes when ordering from pawTree: For the most economical purchase, choose the Core 4 for medium dogs as it will give you 60 days of supplements instead of 30 days for small dogs. Use INTRO4U10 promo code on your first order to get 10% off your order under $100 or INTRO4U20 for 20% off orders over $100. To get free shipping on everything including your dog food, you have to set up an EZ ship and it must include at least 3 non-food items. The Core 4 with your kibble qualifies for free shipping. Set the frequency for 50 days. For your next order, don’t delete the EZ ship if it has items you don’t need for that order. Simply remove the unneeded items and add something in its place to keep three non-food items in the order. Each dollar spent on EZ ship orders earns you a point and points can be used to make future purchases on the website. You can always use another bag of treats to make that third item to get free shipping!

During crate training, your puppy will need to see the crate as a rewarding and positive experience. We recommend the pawTree Snailed It which is a chew toy with grooves for stuffing edibles and then you freeze it. This is a great thing for entertaining your puppy during crate time. It is certainly a MUST have when I need some quiet time. Here is a recipe that you can put in a blender and then spread in the grooves. I keep a few Snailed Its in the freezer at all times so I have one handy. The recipe below will fill several of these toys. You will find a link to this in “My Recommendations”.
