When I first got Sasha, I wasn't aware of the different qualities of food that were available. She came to me on Purina Pro Plan and I kept her on that until she was about 5 or 6 months old. Then someone recommended Nutro Natural Choice to me which I switched her to and kept her on that until she turned 1. That's when I began doing more research and learned Nutro wasn't all that great and began looking into the higher quality foods instead. I don't know how Sasha would've reacted had I changed her food earlier when she was much younger than 5 months. I've always done the transition in a very slow process though as I've always heard that yorkies tend to have sensitive tummies. Now as an adult, she doesn't have any problems with new foods and I barely have to transition her if I happen to change her food.
It could be that your babies just don't agree with the CN. You may want to look into a different food. I've heard good things about Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover's Soul. Solid Gold is also a very good food. I had Sasha on that for awhile and she did amazing on it. As they get older, you can look into a grain-free, high protein food such as EVO, Orijen or Taste of the Wild. It seems like your babies may be sensitive to food changes so just make sure to make the transitions slowly so they arn't affected. Good luck! |
