Hello All,
I just wanted to post an update on my Lab’s diet change progress. She is on day 6 and is now getting 50/50 mix of her old/new food with a Tbs. of pureed pumpkin. She has had no problems with loose stools at all….Yea!!! On a side note, she really seems to enjoy watching me mix up her food on the counter. She thinks she’s “special” now ( she’s always been special to me). She also is not asking for food as much as she used to. I’m thinking that is because the new diet is more nutritional and filling?
I have another question: She LOVES bananas!!! Are they OK for her? Thanks for your help

Hi InkedMarie,
I am changing her very gradually. Dorie posted a transition method and I’m using it. Today is day#2 and she is liking the taste now. Will be watching the exhaust pipe and hopefully she won’t have any issues. I will check out the sticky you mentioned. Thank you!

I fed her the first bowl. She sniffed it and looked up at me, as if to say “What is this?” She took apiece in her mouth and spit it on the floor. She did this again, then she started eating. After finishing the bowl, she ate the pieces that she had spit out. I think she has decided that I’m not trying to poison her. I will keep posting, as we progress. Again, I thank you all for your help!

DianaB, They carry Fromms at the same place I got the TOW but it didn’t say anything on the bag indicating it to be grain free. It is the Fromm Gold brand I was looking at. Maybe you buy a different one?

O.K. I picked up a 15# bag of Taste of the wild, Pacific stream canine with smoked salmon. Went to the grocery and picked up a can of pumpkin. The bag recommends 4 cups a day, so I will mix to that 1 cup of TOW and a tablespoon of pumpkin per serving. I will feed this 25% recipe for 2 days, if no change in stools then go to 50% etc. until fully transitioned. Does this sound correct to the experts here?

Thank you Dori! We are going to start on the program you suggest. I will use the pumpkin, to help ease her through this.

Thanks for the welcome and everyone’s advice! After doing some research, I am going to try her on Taste of the wild. It is available locally and has a 4.5 editor’s choice rating and grain free. Can anyone please describe how to “transition” her diet?

Possibly should have been in the diet and health forum?
