Your Bichon is What He Eats…Good Food Translates to Good Health
When Diamond was a puppy, I researched long and hard on what puppy food would be best. The first things I learned, were 1) Choose premium food whose main ingredients don’t include a lot of fillers and wheat products—you want protein to be the main ingredient here, and 2) Solid food is best—you’ll see a benefit in maintaining his dental health here,and 3) No need to supplement when you find the right kibble—these premium dog foods are balanced meals based on research and science. So there’s really no need to add a soft food mix or canned food.
For Diamond, the best match was the Wellness dry (very important, remember—it’s good for their teeth) puppy food pictured above.
A Bichon’s Best Friend!
The Bichon Frise’s coat is heavenly. It’s one of the things that makes owning a Bichon so great—running your fingers through his soft, fluffy coat. Keep that coat in great shape by brushing his coat every day, even if it’s just for a couple of minutes. It’ll save you a lot of grief and $$ at the groomer’s, trust me. Brushing time also makes for good bonding time and will keep those pesky mats and tangles at bay.
The brush pictured above is sure to be a winner with your fluffy one.

I’m Theresa T., the owner of a Bichon bundle of joy named Diamond.
My husband and I agonized about getting a puppy, since we had never owned dogs before. Then we met Diamond, and we were smitten. Since he joined our family, we’ve learned some things along the way. Some, through books and research. And others through trial and error—until we figured out what worked the best for us. I’m happy to share our little triumphs, so stay tuned. Who knows, they just may work for you and your beloved Bichon, too!
PS: There will also be some stuff here for stylish, cost-and-quality-conscious Bichon moms and dads—so a little bit of everything for everyone!
