Hi and welcome! You will learn quite a lot on this forum. I have been raising yorkies for over 25 years now and I have learned more here in the short amount of time that I was on.
First things - do not suddenly change your puppies food. Their digestive system is very delicate and she will definitely throw up. You have to make any changes - gradually. The first day mix it in with the puppies usual food - 75percent old to 25percent new. The second day 50-50, the third 25-75 and the fourth only the new.
As for the dry. I give my guys only dry. They have never had anything other than kibble - but others on here will tell you otherwise. What I did when I first got my puppy home was put in a very shallow bowl the dry kibble, wet it just a little to moisten it, squirt some honey in it and then microwave it to get it all mushy. I would even add in some chicken baby food to entice the little one. Slowly, slowly, I would add in more dry than moist.
But keep in mind, the change alone will get your little one not to eat. Make sure you give her a little bit of Nutrical every day in order to avoid any issues with hypoglycemia.
Good luck to you. |
