FOOD- So when I first got SHOBI, he was on kibbles and bits(eww), then the vet told me science diet. Once I read on YT I found out it wasnt the best food ever. After reading and being so confused I finally went with New Balance. Is that a good food? BUT Shobi is not crazy about it unless it has a little bit of wet food. Am I doing the right thing with this food issue? I also use NB rolls for treats
Right now my concern is teething. I have found 2 of his teeth which I think is normal. But today he was veryyy lazy and sleepy. The last couple of days its been a struggle for him to eat. Could his teeth be bothering him that bad.? Also ha stinky breath the last couple of days. Not sure if its because of his teeth or his new food. I finally broke down and just put wet food. He ate it but def. do not want him to get used to that.
please help!!! just need some advice.
thank you |
You mean Natural Balance. Yes. It's a good food. What kind do you use? I feed mine the Ultra Premium Small Bites. When you change his food, don't do it suddenly. Just add a little bit of the new food at a time and keep increasing the amount of new food you add until the change is made. Sudden changes can result in tummy upset and diarrhea.
And, yes. He is just like a teething baby. His gums hurt. He may even have a bit of fever. It hurts more for some than others during teething. Try putting some water on his dry food. The kibble probably hurts his gums. He probably doesn't feel that great, either. You can even freeze a wet washcloth and hold it on his gums for awhile to give him some relief or give him an ice cube/sliver of crushed ice if he likes it.
