changing a diet
Jun 8 2006, 4:39 PM EDT You may possibly find yourself over joyed to have a new puppy at your side, and decide to spoil it with toys and even food. being overweight for a puppy or an adult dog, can affect the heart. To switch your dogs food to a healthier diet, you must take it slowly, such as not to upset the stomachs of your puppies. mix your new and old puppy food together, than gradually add less of the old food, untill only the new food is being fed to your puppy. Your puppy won't get sick, and will be healthier. 8 out of 11 found this valuable. Do you? |

Thank you so much for the advice. Do you find this valuable? |

So don't be afraid to feed your pooch what is recommended by your vet (even if it seems like a small portion and Fido whines for more) - his stomach will eventually shirnk to the healthy amount of food you are giving him.
