Thank you for your replies. I contacted Charlie's breeder and she told me not to add anything to her diet. She is growing well for her age and the puppy food I am giving her is enough (one third tin and one cup Supercoat in water)...it's what the breeder was feeding her (not in that quantity, I have added as she's gotten bigger) and I didn't want to upset her tummy by changing...I do give her 'bones' (bikkies) designed to keep her teeth clean and she gets little treats while we are training her (supplied by the breeder)...thanks again for the help...I'm sure I'll need more as time goes on.

I remember years ago, when I was a teen and had the best Blue Heeler the world has ever known (LOL...my opinion here obviously)...I used to read Grass Roots, for healthier lifestyle things and such, it was said that giving a dog Garlic was a healthy way of keeping fleas away...I never used it 'cause the thought of smelling that stale garlic smell on her breath was a big turn off. But yeah I did feed her left overs and that included onions (didn't know about the problems here either)...Sharah lived til she was 14. I guess it must depend on the dog...but now I know I dont want to risk it anymore.

Thanks...I will email my breeder tonight.

Hello, I am new here...I am also the new owner of a Saint Bernard puppy. She is 10 weeks old and we have had her for two weeks... I have a question for anyone who might know...we have a puppy pack from the breeder and it tells us what to feed her and how to look after her...my problem is people are telling me I should be supplimenting her diet with calcium because she is such a large breed. She has been to the vet already and was weighed and I got a bit of information...but nothing was mentioned about suppliments...I have to take her back this week sometime, but want to know asap, so I can start if I need to... Thanks
