How fast did you transition Ruby over to the Evo from her old food, did you do a slow transition?
Want to add- I think Now! or Go! are better foods!  So good choice! |
You know, Britster, i learn a lot from you!
I really do!
I transitioned Ruby over to the Evo in about 10 days. I was home cooking for her and the vet advised me against that, saying she wasn't getting a balanced diet. Then she got sick and went back on the chicken and rice, so I left her on straight chicken and rice until her poop returned to normal, then started to switch her over to Now! and NB. All in all it seemed like a month before she was eating only dog food. I still ocassionally slip in some chicken as a special treat.
As for the GSD, I always thought he had an iron stomach
I was wrong. I was also wrong to let him eat Ruby's leftovers. I just thought he's so much bigger and it's just a little bit. You know, you learn as you go. It just sets you back a few vet bills, right?
