Grizzly bear is a four-month-old gray VIP ~ frequently (≡)/~ la la la ~ in the four months of her dog's life, she has eaten four kinds of dog food, and changing food is really very bad. however, due to my wrong choice as a shoveling officer, grizzly bear has the legendary experience of changing food three times a month (;'and Д') ~ fortunately, each food change is gradually replaced according to the regulations, safe. The small matter of changing food is really negligent!
The dog food I had to change in those years.
The grizzly bear came to our house 45 days ago. when she first arrived here, the original owner of the dog (my best friend) gave me the food for the newick VIP puppies that the grizzly bear had been eating all the time. she told me to feed me 4 meals a day, 20-30 grains per meal. I have been feeding it for the next 2 weeks according to the wishes of my best friend "yi.
The turning point of food change was when the grizzly bear was 2 months old. I took her to get a vaccine for the first time (also the third shot of the grizzly bear). The doctor said that the grizzly bear had ear mites and tear stains in its ears. He prescribed Erkang and Runkang (ear drops and eye drops) to me respectively, and told me whether the dog food the dog ate was a little inappropriate, so the tear stains were so serious, I also asked about the dog's poop. I was given some advice and asked to change food for grizzly bears.
Later, after careful understanding, I learned that different dog breeds, different periods, allergies, etc., are all factors in choosing dog food; every puppy will try a lot of dog food in his life to achieve the goal of balanced nutrition. According to the grizzly bear's current principle of "four-month-old poodle (small dog) has no allergy history and is as natural as possible", I have re-entered the full-age food of now fresh grain-free small dog in Baijia. I have been eating it for more than a month since I changed the food. At present, the tear stain has obviously improved. With the help of ear drops and hair plucking powder, the ear mite has been basically eradicated, and finally grow meat!

1. Why there is a transition period for food exchange
(1) The dog's stomach is fragile
As the saying goes: "Ten dogs and nine vomit", dogs have short stomachs, but they have a strong appetite. When they see something they love to eat or when they are hungry, they eat without restraint, and they don't know how to chew slowly. The truth. If you change food directly regardless of it, it is easy to cause gastrointestinal problems. The usual manifestations are diarrhea (soft stool), constipation, frequent vomiting, and even blood in the stool and vomiting yellow water.
(2) different sources of protein content of different dog food
For dogs, milk, eggs, meat, fish and other animal protein digestion and utilization degree is high; plant protein digestion and utilization degree is low. Therefore, even if the protein content of the two dog foods is similar, dogs also have great differences in protein digestion and utilization due to great differences in protein sources (meat or meat powder or fish or fruits and vegetables or protein additives, etc.). Trade rashly replace dog food prone to protein deficiency (affecting growth and development) and excess (kidney loss, osteoporosis)
(3) Effectively control the inappropriate effects of poisonous dog food
The essence of food change is to find the best dog food for the dog. Dogs of different periods, breeds and even bloodlines have different food needs. His honey and my arsenic are not just words. Poison dog food can be divided into "hard poison dog food", that is, dog food itself has defects (unknown source of ingredients, uncoordinated proportion, anti-corrosion failure, etc.); And "soft poison dog food", that is, dog food itself is not good or even very good, but it is not suitable for dogs (for example, at the beginning, I also thought about feeding our grizzlies eager for six kinds of fish, but the particles are too large for small puppies and the protein content is too high ~). If the food is changed directly, it is easy to expand the inadaptability of the new dog food to the dog in the case of gastrointestinal discomfort. In the evaluation of many domestic dog foods in the news and Taobao Tmall, not a few dogs died of hematochezia after changing food for 3 days. Gradually change food, science for food, can minimize the impact of the control of poisonous dog food. If you find that during the week of changing food, the dog suddenly lost weight, had bad breath, was soft and so on, you can stop changing food at any time to avoid tragedy.
2.7 days for grain method operation guide
General Principles
At 6 o'clock in the morning, the normal proportion of dog food was fed last night. Generally speaking, after a long sleep at night, the dog's gastrointestinal peristalsis in the morning is very fast, and it is also a relatively fragile period. It is best not to add new dog food immediately at this time. Give the dog an adaptation period. As a puppy, I usually feed the grizzly bear about 30ml of goat's milk at this time.
Around 11: 00 noon, + 10% of new dog food will be fed. Noon is the dog's active period. After playing and sleeping with molars in the morning, she has been fully prepared to change food. But don't change too much at once. 10%-15% new dog food is a good choice. If the dog has gastrointestinal problems, you can consider the new dog food as a "snack" reward to the dog, about 15 minutes after the dog's meal.
At 5 pm, + 5% of new dog food will be fed. Pay special attention to the dog's poop, stool hardness, color, whether there are inlays, etc. If everything is normal, continue to increase the replacement rate of dog food by 5%.
At 10 p.m., since our grizzly bear is still in the puppy stage, and the dog food I chose is the whole dog stage instead of the milk cake food, I will add a meal of goat's milk to her at this time.
Actual operation:
Said the overall principle, in order to facilitate the operation, I directly give you a list of the proportion of how to feed food every day for 7 days. If you think the text description is very complicated, just pull down and look at the table below.
The First Day
:
; Noon: 10% new dog food + 90% original dog food; Evening: 15% new dog food + 85% original dog food (+ puppies plus some goat's milk as supplement). Dog Status: Grizzly Bear did not feel too much discomfort in changing food on the first day. His appetite was very good. He may not change food in a large proportion. He did not suffer from soft stool, vomiting, diarrhea or other symptoms. He did not scratch his face, indicating that there was no allergy. The grizzly bear is still in the puppy stage. I have been giving her extra goat's milk. Overall, it passed the day very smoothly.
The next day
; At noon: 20% new dog food + 80% original dog food (+ supplement with trace probiotics or gastrointestinal treasure); Evening: 25% new dog food + 75% original dog food (+ puppies plus some goat's milk as supplement). Dog's condition: on the second day of food change, the dog's poop obviously increased. I pulled it three times in the morning, once at noon and twice at night. I was a little worried, because it was only once in the morning, middle and evening. However, there was no diarrhea, vomiting, weakness, etc. I will keep the observation. At noon the next day, I added more probiotics, because I pulled it three times in the morning, which really surprised me. However, the grizzly bear has been very jubilant, playing with her more and sleeping soundly at night.
The third day
; At noon: 40% new dog food + 60% original dog food (+ supplement of trace probiotics or gastrointestinal treasure); Evening: 45% new dog food + 55% original dog food (+ puppies plus some goat's milk as supplement). Dog Status: On the third day of the food change, the grizzly bear pulled more. I was really worried and even wanted to stop. Fortunately, at noon, Mommy took some dog food to her laboratory (where there were more accurate instruments). After measuring, she found that the weight of each grain of the original dog food (Nwick and Crazy Dog) was 1/2 of that of the new dog food (now); that is, 20 original dog food = 10 new dog food. To put it bluntly, the dog's digestion was good after feeding too much, and it was soft when it did not appear. I adjusted the number of dog food grains in time at night, and the poop returned to normal at night.
Day Four
; At noon: 55% new dog food + 45% original dog food; Evening: 60% new dog food + 40% original dog food (+ puppies plus some goat's milk as supplement). Dog Status: On the morning of the fourth day, the grizzly bear returned to normal. I didn't continue to feed probiotics at noon. After all, it is not good to feed too much. However, at night, the urine is a little yellow, and the water in the dog's water bottle is not too little.
The Fifth Day
; At noon: 70% new dog food + 30% original dog food; Evening: 75% new dog food + 25% original dog food (+ puppies plus some goat's milk as supplement). Dog Status: Grizzly bears urinate more yellow in the morning. According to my previous experience in dog food grams, I tasted the new and old dog food. According to my own taste, the new dog food is lighter than the original dog food. If the dog food is light, the dog will naturally drink much less water and urinate yellow. On this day, I played more with grizzly bears, which happened to be Saturday. Grizzly bears played for a long time. Every time she ran for a while, she ran to the place where she drank water and drank a lot of water intermittently.
The Sixth Day
; At noon: 85% new dog food + 15% original dog food (+ supplement of trace probiotics or gastrointestinal treasure); Evening: 90% new dog food + 10% original dog food (+ puppies plus some goat's milk as supplement, especially diluted some goat's milk). Dog status: grizzly bear drank a lot of water yesterday, and urination is normal today, only slightly yellowed ~ (≡≡)/~ la la la. In the evening, I diluted the goat's milk that I often fed her and fed her more water, hoping to make up for her lack of water intake in a day.
The Seventh Day
; Noon: 100% new dog food (+ yogurt); Evening: 100% new dog food (+ diluted goat milk). Dog Status: Grizzly Bear's urine returned to normal today. The color of the stool turned yellow, which is different from the previous brown and black, and it is thicker and longer than before. There was no scratching of the face, and the food exchange was successfully completed. At noon, she fed grizzly bear a little yogurt. she especially likes to drink O(∩_∩)O ~
3. Emergency response
As the saying goes, a wise man is bound to make mistakes, and even if he is well prepared, emergencies will occur. Food allergies lead to stress reactions, diarrhea, vomiting, face scratching, and so on. Therefore, before changing food, be sure to prepare medicines such as Changweibao and probiotics, just in case. If the stool is soft, it can be mixed with probiotics. If vomiting, it can be mixed with gastrointestinal treasure. If you scratch your face frequently and stop replacing dog food in time, it is likely to be allergic.
When changing food, pay attention to the difference in salty and grain weight between the old and new dog food. Don't make my mistake, because our mastery of the percentage of old and new dog food is mainly regulated by weight. The shape, weight and taste of each dog food will vary with the raw materials and production process. Therefore, before changing food, it is best to taste the taste of dog food and measure the weight of each dog food.
Conclusion: Good food change, good food change, good health
After frequent food changes, the grizzly bear finally found the dog food that belongs to her at this stage. Now the bad breath is basically gone. She is happy every day. In the morning, she exercises her biting ability with grinding toys. In the afternoon, she runs around the house to consume her physical strength. At noon and at night, I went home and began to bite my trouser leg to "play" (; Д) Pajama pants have broken 2. And every time I eat dog food, I feel very fragrant O(∩_∩)O ~ in order to prevent her from eating too fast and choking, I also prepared a slow eating bowl ~ show the grizzly beep that eats rice.
The above is a personal experience, only for reference oh ~
