I see why you are concern. I know is their dog but you are taking the responsibility of his care. I dont know what kind of friendship you have with them, meaning that if you do in fact switch his food and take him to your vet this will not cause friction or conflict. I know you are thinking on the well being of the pup. And personally they should have waited to get this pup until after they were back from their trip to give him the proper care. But since is too late for that. I guess I will present this points to them.
You can tell thme that you are feeding Bruce a premiun food and you will prefer to feed their dog the same.
I agreed with you, 9 hours inside a crate is cruel to me. You can tell them that while his at your home you will use your xpen.
Honestly, I dont know what you should do. Is a dilemma that you must decide what to do before they go on their trip. Good luck. Im so I really wasnt of any help. |
