Is this Normal for changing food???? Hello Fellow YTers! On Monday, I bought Innova so that I could switchfrom Eukanuba Lamb and Rice Puppy. BeanSprout seems happy with the switch. I give him about 4-6 kibbles of the Innova and about 1/3-1/4 cup of his old food. On his daily walks I give him a totalof 6 kibbles of the new food as rewards.At night I feed him the same as trhe morning. 1. Is this slow enough? 2. His poop is now " voluminus, yellow and soft"(It use to be dark and hard)....Is that OKAY? How do I help the switch go better so that he doesn't get the runs??? Thanks, jen |
I am not an expert but I think you should let him on Eukanuba for a little while and try to change later . |
Hi Beansprout: How old is your puppy? I tried to do a gradual switch from Science Diet to Innova and my Comet just ate all of the Innova and left the Science Diet. He was almost 5 months at the time. Innova is such a good food and it is made with all raw ingredients. It is one of the most natural diets for dogs. I tried to do the gradual switch but my yorkie didn't go for it !He adjusted to the Innova with no problems. I think that the older your puppy is. The faster the adjustment should take. |
BeanSprout is 15 weeks old.... Although,he is a 5.5 lb monster!!! My breeder says he will be about 8 lbs! I have decided to hold off for another month or so. That way, we will get the potty training thing down!!!! Thanks. jen |
I think switching should be gradual and take a week. If his poop is that color, it must have been cleaning/flushing out the system. Sometime's they do get upset tummies when you switch to fast, but you can put some pumpkin in their food and help with the diarrhea/loose stools i'm talking about real pumpkin, not like the pumpkin pie filling :D it has some fibers in it that help with either diarrhea and constipation :) but good choice with Innova! |
