While switching up ingredients, please be careful. Variety is fine but they should not be exposed to every protein and every grain source available because if there is a serious food intolerance someday and you have to go to something novel, that will be impossible.
This just happened to me with Ellie...I gave her too much variety in her carbohydrates and now I am regretting it. Her nutritionist said I have boxed myself it.  |
Well, of course she mad a liar out me last night
- she was licking her paws last night - and the only thing she had last night was some pumpkin and yogurt. And she looks like chicken legs to a degree - short, short hair. So now I'm wondering if she is licking and chewing on her paws while I'm at work.
I am so concerned about switching foods. And I really don't want to go thru the elimination diet phase (I've only read a bit about this) - but I may have to. They have had Natural Balance before - but usually just a bit of sample bags, but it has been awhile.
Sorry that you have Ellie boxed in
- I know you hear my frustration. Thanks
