Hello! I'm new here at YT also.
I'm so glad you are able to adopt Sparta and give him the love and care he needs.
If/when you switch foods you should feed his original food and mix in a small amount of the new food with it, then over the course of a few days keep gradually increasing the amount of new food mixed in while decreasing the original food. Do this until he is switched completely over to the new food. Doing it slow like this will allow his system to get used to the new food.
I use a crate at night or when I'm gone. My dogs have always done very well with crate training. They like their crates. They will go lay in them on their own during the day sometimes. I use the wire ones. I like those better than the 'pet-taxi' type. it's just a preference I guess.
Congratulations on your new baby!!! |
