We have just been approved to adopt a rescue, we will be getting her on Saturday! Here is her information on petfinder.
Petfinder Adopted Dog | Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie | Mount Washington, KY | Chloe
As you will see, she has been diagnosed with pancreatitus in the past, which what caught my eye because we already have a dog with that, and so I wasn't "afraid" of the diagnosis. Her former owners managed it with "Beneful Weight Management" food. <cringe> We feed our dog, Tina, prescription food from the vet - Purina EN. I know it's pretty low quality food, and she had very flaky skin at first. So after reading about options on YT, I started blending it with about 25% California Natural Small Bites. Her skin improved and she hasn't had a recurrence of pancreatitus. So, I'd like to transition the new baby to this diet - both because I hope it's a bit higher quality than Beneful and because, to be honest, it would make it a bit easier for me, too.
I was thinking that it would be best not to change anything at first to let her settle in. But I need help with:
- when to start transitioning her to a new diet
- how best to do it. gradually mix it in, or just switch all at once?
Any ideas would be most helpful
