Feeding
Diet change
Your dog will likely get diarrhea from a change in diet. Feed them cooked rice mixed with cottage cheese (2 to 1 ratio) for a day or two. You can also try adding canned pumpkin puree to its meals: 2 teaspoons (for a small dog) or 2 tablespoons (for a large dog). Reintroduce the dry kibble after 1-2 days.
Feeding schedule
Create a consistent schedule by feeding your dog at the same times each day. We recommend that you feed your dog twice a day, or three smaller portions if your schedule allows it. If crate training, feed all meals in the crate with the door open to get them adjusted to it.
Please don't feed "human food" to your dog and make sure they always have fresh drinking water.
You can give your dog foods from the "healthy" section as treats moderation.
