DIET
Kibble - I feed Kirkland Chicken with some extras. Ground Hamburger mixed, pressure cooked Chicken, Deer (when available), scrambled eggs, cottage cheese, yogurt, noodles, oatmeal and bread. Maybe not all together, but I like to change things up a bit and not have so much repetition.
When choosing your kibble make sure you have a 26/15% ratio on Protein/Fat. Stay away from Corn,
by-products, soy, any food with dye in it.
Raw diets - I have done this with all of my dogs. They do really well on it and then they are over it, then the food is wasted. So I just mix things up.
Here are a few websites I like on Raw Diets,
there are a Ton more.
**Also, Please remember whatever you decide to feed your Neapolitan, while
they are young & growing, KEEP THEM
LIGHT & GROW SLOW. It will help on
their Joints and their Diet is Very
Important while they are young.

Necessities
What do you need for your new Neo Puppy?
What should you have ready for the pup
when it comes home?
-Collar -start out with an 18 inch if the pup is 8-10 weeks. They are BIG puppies and you can adjust it!
-Leash
-Bowls (food & water) I prefer Stainless Steel. They are easy to clean and they can't usually eat the bowls (they will try).
-Rubber brush (horse brush) or Furminator
-Metal Crate 42" is the smallest you want to buy. We keep our females in 48" crates. Males will need larger (54")
-Toys! But you must supervise. They might want to eat them. Give them Large balls (basketball/yoga), ropes, bones, hard rubber toys to chew and keep them busy.
-Drool Towels!!!
