Transitioning your dog to a new food

Whenever you change your dog’s food you have transition SLOWLY. Transitioning too quickly can lead to stomach upset and stool changes. To gradually get your dog accustomed to the new food replace increasing amounts of the old food with the new food. The transition can take a couple of weeks. You may also want to heat the food a little bit. Some dogs can’t tolerate cold foods.

Desserts & Snacks that clean Teeth

A great snack after each meal is a raw carrot. It provides vitamins and enzymes, is low caloriehas the bonus of cleaning your dogs teeth. Raw bones are also great for cleaning teeth and providing calcium (raw bones are perishable. Do not let your dog chew on one for longer than one day) and minerals. We also add kelp powder and natural soy lecithin for a nutritional boost.
