| Tummy Cant Handle Wet Food? Any one else having this problem? I am just wondering if any one has trouble feeding the furbabys wet food? Everytime I give my girls ANY kind of wet food, they get a upset tummy and I am running up and down the staris (I live in a apt) taking them out to go potty. I mostly feed them hard food but every now and again, I feed them wet for a little treat.. They LOVE eating it but I hate cleaning up, when they cant hold it in time for me to take them out. (its like water) I feed bad taking it away from them (bc they LOVE it soo much) but I have to bc of what it is doing to there tummies... Any one else having this problem? |

| Have you tried giving your girls scrambled eggs or cottage cheese as a treat instead to see how they do with that. I give mine a little bit of canned every day too but it doesnt upset their stomachs

| Wow that is strange that wet dog food upsets their stomach but cat food doesnt. Cat food is very rich

| Re wet food When I first got Tiny he was on a diet of organic chicken and rice baby food for the first four weeks and 10 soaked puppy biscuits. He also experienced tummy upsets from the wet food but as soon as he was old enough to take just the dry biscuits it cleared up. He is allowed to eat these at the moment, but this doesn't stop him trying to eat everything we eat! |

| Maybe they're just eating too much of it? Try just mixing a tiny bit of it with their dry food once a day. If they don't usually get the wet food, then yes, giving it to them here and there can cause tummy trouble, their system isn't used to it. But if it's tiny amounts all the time, it should be okay My girls LOVE yogurt, the plain regular kind. I put a couple tablespoons of it on top of their dinner every night. Just remember that when you feed anything at all, start out with a tiny amount of it and go from there. If they tolerate the tiny bit, add a pinch more next time, and so on
