Don't allow yourself to run out of his food, always keep some back and if you want to make a food switch. go slowly. Many prescription foods are available at Petsmart and Petco, and your dog may not even need a prescription food. Rice and chicken are good for short term; they are not balanced for a long-term diet.
Thanks Nancy,
She is doing better now. Nice to have advice from other Yorkie mommys!
