ParticipantThanks for all the shares!
Our guy is a lean 36lbs. He was 27lbs when we rescued him. He topped out at 37lbs once, after 2 weeks of hearty appetite. Maybe instinctively regulating?
I was told stray dogs may become accustomed to the rich flavors of people leftovers and garbage and may hold out for tastier fare than kibbles. I have read rotating is a good policy, if the dog doesnāt have adverse reactions.
We will keep rotating the kibbles and enticements.
Thanks for the personal experiences!Noggin
ParticipantHi Jilty,
In my experience, transitioning between dog foods is generally not a problem unless the dog has been on only one food for a long time, or has special needs. A fresh rescue should be put on a high quality food at first, with perhaps an Omega 3 supplement or canned salmon (people food). Acana for instance, or Wellness or any of the good foods you can get in your area. We found food with grain makes for loose poops, and here in the city we have to pick-up after him⦠A quality food will be fine for puppies or adults.Transitioning from rescue food should be a non-issue, since itās probably cheap and low quality, and he/she likely hasnāt adapted to it anyway. If youāre really worried, use what you have over a few days and mix the old with the new.
