Forgive me for a stupid question I think I know the answer but will ask anyway. I feed Penny Fromm dry dog food. She used to love it but lately won't eat it. One thing she loves is fish. If I switch to the Fromm's salmon and tuna dry, do I have to introduce it slowly? |
Not a "stupid" question at all! It would be best to introduce the new Fromm variety slowly, but if your Penny is anything like my three, she will pick out the kibbles she likes and leave the rest. So my advise is to mix the two kibbles, but not stress too much if she only eats one of them. |
Yep, Chattiesmom is so right! Cali would do the same thing. So I put down several bowls with a little in each one and watched which one she liked. Then I watch for an GI problems, like diarrhea. I have found ghatnincan change the protein around with Fromm and it does not seem to upset my Cali's tummy, that being said all dogs are different. Good luck :D |

No question is stupid. I would mix it but like the others have said she will probably pick out the new food lol. If she does and gets diarrhea you can add a little pumpkin to her food. |
Since we're on the subject of picky eaters...I've resumed giving Piper Nutro Natural dry food, but she won't eat it unless I mix in Cesar 'wet' (little trays) food. She absolutely gobbles that combo and literally licks her dish clean (this is completely unheard of...)--then looks to me for more. The only flavor she likes is the grilled chicken. I don't know if the Cesar dog food is ok to give Piper or not? Does anyone have a better recommendation as to what I might add to her kibble or advice or comments? I very much appreciate any and all suggestions, truly! |

Did a similar 'recipe' for a long while, but one day Piper just quit eating it...and sometimes now she refuses to take chicken as a treat. But chicken (or chicken-flavored) is the only thing she likes...(sigh). Oh these adorable little enigmatic characters---sometimes I think they put us through these trials just to make sure we stay truly connected!!! Thank you for your suggestion--it used to work!! |

I rotate between flavours with each bag. For example, when I have 1/4 of the current Fromm bag left, I buy a new Fromm flavour, and slowly introduce it until that 1/4 is done and I'm on the new flavour completely. I do this so that my little ones get a nice variety of proteins and also with the hope that they won't develop some intolerance to certain proteins. My theory is also that if I switch flavours this way, they won't get bored of their meals. How is Penny doing on the switch to the salmon and tuna? |

Dog My yorkies love the wellness petite casserole. The chicken green bean and carrot is the favorite. I highly recommend this food. Comes in little dishes. |

I too use some Cesar's along with RC. I don't think I would use Cesar's as there only food but it must taste really good because in the morning it gets there breakfast in them . The rest of the day it is just RC kibble. :) |

We use Fromms also. I think they claim you can just switch the food from one Fromm to another at the drop of a hat, but, there is no reason to push it. We have several pups now so we leave a couple of kibble flavors down and Robyn cooks up some ground turkey, sweet potato daily as well. |

Only one thing caught me off guard... I kept auto-ship active when I should have deactivated it after ordering. So, activate auto-ship for the discount, make your order then deactivate auto-ship is what I recommend. |

I've not tried ground turkey (thank you, MarkFromSea) or the Frooms brand, but from what I'm reading I'm thinking I shall have to try both! As it is, Piper is the only dog I know who gets 'dessert;' she's learned that if she eats everything in her dish, she'll get her favorite treat!! Geez louise, crazy little canine!! |

Have you considered green tripe as a topper/mix-in? I've heard it has a world of health benefits and is irresistible to every dog. Mine love it! It stinks, but oh well.... |
How interesting--I've never even heard of green tripe, let alone tried it. However, since Piper seems to love things that smell awful, this tripe stuff may be worth a shot...Good for her, not so good for me!! |
It's the stomach of grass fed cows. Blech! But full of enzymes! |
Yeah that's right slowly but surely:) That's a good choice we know that tuna and salmon have fit with nutrients and protein for our dog. |

haha...so true! |

I bought the whole tripe in dried form - O.M.G. it's so nasty. You've never smelled nasty until you smelled green trip (aka unbleached cow stomach). The things we are willing to do for the health of our little ones, huh. Think once I'm done this second bag, I'm going to opt for the freeze-dried version, which I've been told is slightly less stinky. |
