Thanks everyone! I always start off really slow (1/4 of the newwith 3/4 of the old then after a few days goe to 2/3 old, 1/3 new etc.) but no matter what Tuffy's tummy always rebels. Giving some Diabac seems to help with the runs though. Never tried the white rice instead of the new food but...
A few months back someone responded to one of my friends saying they'd written a blog about how to avoid messy poop when transitioning to a new food? If you're out there, can you tell me where I can find it?
Tuffy would be most grateful!:D
Sorry to hear about Vegas' tummy issues. I do know that some dogs have trouble going from the commercial brands to hollistic. Case in point is my Tuffy...I tried so many different hollistic foods and the only one that he had really decent poop on was Purina One Lamb and Rice! Then they had to go...
She's such a darling girl! But as a bully mama who constantly worries whether Tuffy is looking stock enough I can relate! Is the Taste of the Wild Prairie formula high enough in calories? You may want to ask the vet if it might be worth it to put her on puppy kibble for a while so she can gain...
Sorry we've been MIA for a while. It's been crazy with the back to school madness with the kids but things have settled down somewhat so I look forward to catching up with everyone and I'll have new pics to share soon too.
Hope everybully is doing great!:D
Thanks for the suggestions!
Jill...I see you have a similar post down below!! I've given Tuffy the Nature's Variety bones once before. Are those the kind you are referrng to or you talking about regular soup bones? I will go back to my pet store!!
Tessa...I will also look into the smoked beef...
I'm curious as to whether those of you with bullies with sensitive skin give them any kind of dog bones/chews.Tuffy is still a pup and LIVES to chew but I've banned bully sticks and pretty much all longlasting edible chews to give his chin a chance to heal and to ward off any potential skin...
Had to roll my eyes about the comment about "What's wrong with his face" because my vet also said something along those lines. Isn't it great when our vets are as clueless as we are?! What grain free kibble do you have Maximus on? Tuffy's face is usually beet red by the end of the day too. The...
I also have the medicated Mal-a-ket wipes but the vet on call at Dermapet said to use it only for infection and that we should use the DermaPet Malacetic Wet Wipes for everyday use. Dermapet has a great website with tons of medicated wipes/shampoos so hopefully you can find a good replacement. I...
Please tell me how you manage with 5 bullies and 4 kids. I can barely handle my three kids and one bulldog. And I mean BARELY!!
I once put Tuffy on Fromm Salmon a la vegetable and he LOVED it but it gave him very loose poop. What kind of changes are you seeing for the better in the Surf and...
jillh10....what formula of Taste of the Wild are you trying? The company sent me samples because I'm considering switching but I'm nervous after hearing some not great things about the Pacific formula. I hope your pup does great on this food!
