Marie and her pug Boston Terrier feeding and nutrition:
Hi Melanie and family;
Yes, the hiccups are normal... Taking in too much air when eating or drinking.
Try a  "Raised" feeding Station.
Dishes should be raised a little below arm pit level.

Next, Continue with the Natural Choice but add some Olive oil to her food at least 1 x per day - Just 1 teaspoon of pure Olive oil.

Also, Please add the "NuVET Plus" Wafers to her program....  
NuVet will help the dry coat and also protects legs, hips and joints from injury.
Bostons are known to get many knee and leg injuries...
You can prevent them with proper supplements and foods.

Your dry coat and dandruff problems should go away after a few weeks on the NuVET and the Olive oil products.
Use the NuVET puppy shampoo -- very safe - see the site below to learn about the NuVET Brand.

Enjoy her...
