Dogs will experience many times in their lives to change food, vomiting and diarrhea as soon as they change food. This is not the fault of the new food. When this happens, it’s usually because the pet parent switched your food the wrong way. How can we solve this problem? Just do as Dr. E says—there’s no mistake!
Dog food vomiting diarrhea, the reason is Ta
The type and quantity of probiotics in the dog's intestinal tract are compatible with the food eaten. If the food composition changes too much after the food is changed, the number of intestinal flora suddenly cannot match the new food, and the probiotics will die in large quantities, causing intestinal absorption disorders, and the dog will have vomiting and diarrhea.
A few simple tricks to solve the discomfort of changing food for dogs
1 Fast the dog
The shoveling officer can give the dog a period of fasting to reduce the burden on the dog's stomach.
2 Feeding Probiotics
Feeding probiotics can help dogs recover from damaged intestines.
Science for food, help dogs adapt
1 Avoid excessively large differences in formulation between old and new grain.
When choosing new dog food, owners should pay attention not to choose styles that are too different from the old food formula and raw materials, otherwise dogs will easily not adapt to the new dog food.
2 Use the 7-day transition method for changing food
Over seven days, gradually increase the proportion of new grain while progressively reducing the proportion of old grain, until the new grain completely replaces the old. This can reduce the stress response caused by changing food, such as vomiting and diarrhea, and can also increase the chances of dogs receiving new food.
3. Feed with probiotics during the grain change period
It is easy to cause intestinal discomfort when changing food, so supplementing probiotics can also help the dog's stomach to adapt to the new food.
4. Drink more water during the feed transition period.
Drinking water is also an excellent way to promote digestion, and since different grains have varying moisture contents, staying hydrated can help reduce discomfort when switching between them.
