Oh, welcome to the ranks of Labrador owners! These guys are quite manipulative, especially when it comes to food. The fact that she’s only eating one type of canned food now is a classic test of her owner’s mettle. Trust me, she won’t let herself starve to death; she’s just waiting for you to give in.
Regarding food: Natural Balance is a good food, but they’re pricey, I understand. In regular supermarkets like Walmart, it’s better to look at lines like Purina Pro Plan (there are options for sensitive digestion) or Taste of the Wildāthey often have similar ingredients but are more reasonably priced. And a tip: try mixing the new food with the old one, gradually increasing the proportions to avoid upsetting her stomach.
In short, don’t panic. Try gradually changing her food, and if she turns up her nose, just don’t give in. After a couple of days of fasting, she’ll eat everything you give her. Good luck, they’re not easy, but it’s worth it!
