I don't want him to have any more digestive upsets, so I'd like something to work. Any suggestions for picky eaters with sensitivity issues would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. |
Well if he was doing well on NB i'd stick with it. If it were me I would buy a few different flavours and switch it up every couple of months. Since you are changing from NB to NB he should do quite well on it. Just remember when you change from the SD to NB he still might have a bit of diarrhea.
You might want to give him some pure canned pumpkin to help with the diarrhea. If he doesn't like it try making it into a treat
1 c. pure canned pumpkin
1.5 c. flour (i don't use wheat as a lot of dogs are allergic so i use rye flour)
1 egg
1 tbs olive oil
bit of cinnamon
- it makes a very dense batter- i use spoons to make small balls- bake on 350 for 15-20 min
layla gets about 3-4 a day- pumpkin is great for their digestion and the treats don't have anything awful in them. HOpe that helps.
