| Any recommendations? Almost a week in and still in the process of switching Minnie from Science Diet to Wellness Super5Mix Just for Puppy. She seems to pick out all of the SD kibble and has eaten kibble from Wellness. I know what I am trying to switch her to is more better for her. Any suggestions, I also thought about doing some sort of nutritional supplement during this process to avoid her sugar levels from being low. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. |

| Try soaking the food and kind of letting it turn into a mush. Then she wont quite be able to distinguish the individual kibbles themselves. Make sure you use warm water, it makes the food smell more! Good luck!! Keep us posted.

| I also thought about using Nutri-Cal. I think it would be beneficial for her especially as small as she is. I was told by the vet that she does not think Minnie will weigh over 3 1/2lbs. IMO I don't see her going over 3lbs but IDK. Thanks for the idea |

| Only use Nutrical if she hasn't eaten anything. It you use it too much it can actually have a reverse effect on her blood sugar. Make sure that in the transition you make sure her gums are pink and moist. If they are, then no nitrucal needed!
