Dogs sometimes seem to have an “iron” stomach and manage to eat objects and substances that disgust us. It is true that our four-legged friends can eat things without problems but equally valid is the idea that a sudden change in diet may affect the dog’s main stomach and feeding habits of the animal. Changing diet for a dog must be done gradually over a period of at least four days.
In the first days of the change process should not give up all the old food. Fill bowl with dog food, old and three-quarters of new food quarter. We use this rate for another two days. After this first step, increase the half the amount of food bowl for the new puppy. Again keep the ratio of old and new food for at least two days. At this rate we will manage to change the dog’s diet without it having trouble accepting new ingredients. If we make the transition too abruptly dog will have cramps and heartburn. Also, indigestion, diarrhea, vomiting or simply refusing to eat means the effects of dietary changes too rapidly.
Many times people buy any dog food are on the market, thinking of the savings they can make. Even if we feel that we made a good choice putting some money aside, our dog is suffering. Indigestion, chronic diarrhea or a dainty dog food, are just three effects caused by the constant change of diet quadruped. more…

In a much faster rate than humans, puppies turn into dogs and then the old “no longer run by the bat or ball but prefers to stay obedient to its master’s feet”.
