She may not eat right away because of new surroundings, what you don't want to do is make eating harder for her by changing her food. When she has settled in and you feel you want to switch her food do a slow transition.
I am not familiar with Canagan so cannot offer an opinion. Hopefully others have had experience with it. |
Hi Matese,
Thank you so much for your concern, I really appreciate it.
Off course I wouldn't give it to her right away. It must be very difficult for all the little babies to leave their save place and everything they know. Actually when you think about it, it's really sad. They'll never see their (dog)family again.
We've had 3 Yorkies already (18, 17 en 11 years old when they died).
She will get all the space and time she'll need to adjust before we"ll give her (bit by bit with her normal food) a different type of food.
You really should look at Canagan. It's from England (they sell it in Holland as well) and it's one of the best!!
Love
Merel
