The vet suggested I put Brutus back on his wet I/D food (issues with that a few months ago). I took the vets advice and put him on his wet food for a few days, after that I started mixing the wet and his normal kibble to see how he did and he did just fine. That is what we are currently doing. BUT Monday evening he pooed in the house twice after we had been on a walk and had already gone outside for a "potty". Yesterday and today he did a poo inside in the middle of the day after he had gone outside to "potty". He has done so well with potty training that I have had the potty pads removed for at least a month and felt so comfortable that I put my rugs back down. I didn't think about his change of food, just maybe a little regression on the potty training. Thoughts? |
Potty regression can be alot of different things. Even good change. Example, Gizmo has been a gem to potty train, and always rings the bells. However, he got a hold of my Mom's dog's kibble (Canidae) and drank alot move cause accidents. He wasn't use to the higher form of protein which caused him to drink more water. Thus, he wasn' prepared to go out so much.
If you're mixing wet and dry, just like with any food, it's going to take his little system time to adjust. Out of curiousity, what dry kibble do you have him on, and what type of tummy trouble has he had?
