| I won't disagree shy because you are right on the money. ds, that is what you need to do. Over a week's time, you need to mix the two foods, gradually increasing the amount of dry and reducing the amount of wet. The reason for this is to give the dog's digestive tract a chance to adjust to the new food properly. If you don't, your dog may vomit, be very gassy, and/or have diarrhea. So, you need to ease into. Thank you for being so kind as to take a stray into your home. I wish more people were like you.
ds, wet food is the quickest way for a dog to develop tooth decay. I am not surprised your dog's teeth aren't as pretty as when he first came to you. The dry food cleans the plaque and tartar off the teeth. Kibble is the best thing for your dog's health. Wet food is not a good idea at all. You may want to take him into your vet's office and have his teeth cleaned. My dog is almost 5 years old, has been on kibble since I adopted her, and it is finally time that I take her in for a cleaning. I hate the thought and expense of it, but I want her to have the benefit of her teeth in her old age. Losing teeth too early is most certainly avoidable. There is nothing as sad (and kind of gross) as seeing a dog gum their food. |
