| New Food Issue... I am switching Ollie from Solid Gold to Taste of the Wild. I think he was losing interest in the Solid Gold and I had really wanted to feed him Orijen, however the only store in my area that sold it closed last weekend. I ended up spending a lot of time on this part of the board researching new foods and I decided to try TOTW. New Food Issue- I mixed them together and then my little guy picked out and ate the TOTW and left the old food. (I think he likes the new food, lol!) I know when we introduce new foods it should be gradual... Should I keep mixing it, hoping he will eat it? Or is it ok to just feed the TOTW? |

| I understand completely! We have only had our new baby for two weeks. He came to us from the breeder on Eukanuba. I decided to switch him to artemis fresh mix. When I put a little of that in with his other food, he picked it out. Well he started having gas and throwing up, so I started leaving out the artemis. I also gave him some plain yogurt which seemed to help a lot. I added a little Karo to his water too. He seems much better today, but it really gave me a scare! I want him to be on a "good" dog food, but I certainly don't want him to be sick. I would say as long as he seems to tolerate it, it will be ok, but you might want to continue mixing until you're sure of no adverse affects. It took 4 days for Charlie's problems to start showing up and they stoppped as soon as we added yogurt and took him off the new food. It's so frustrating!! good luck to you and your baby. |
