Vets And Raw Food


 Share

Recommended Posts

I have a 9 week old mini poodle pup who has been with us since last Friday. The breeder had him on Puppy porridge for breakfast, divetalac in the mid morning, Advance rehydrable puppy kibble plus chicken mince at lunch and dinner, and divetelac for supper.

Since coming to live with us, he has totally gone off the divetalac, doesn't much like the puppy porridge or the Advance but LOVES chicken. We tried him on chicken necks last Saturday and chicken wings on Monday of this week and there's no looking back. Only problem is now I have this 3kg bag of Advance that he's barely touched, and he seems to have a little more difficulty pooing now than when he arrived. I am concerned that he's not getting enough fibre which has lead to the hardening of his stool.

Is this dramatic change in dietary preferance normal for puppies? Is it normal for them to graze rather than wolf their food? My last dog was a Lab who died 10 years ago and was already 1 when I was born, so I have no idea about this stuff at all!
