Any Q

Switching your dog's food abruptly can cause gastrointestinal upset such as vomiting, diarrhea, and a decreased appetite. Any time you decide to change your dog's food, you should transition to the new diet gradually in order to give your dog's system time to adjust to the change. 2 мар. 2022 г.


Should you always buy the same dog food?

Dogs Are What They Eat, Too We are warned by food manufacturers and veterinarians alike that it is pointless and even possibly dangerous somehow to change a dog's food. But a dog who eats the same diet every day can eventually become the living embodiment of the nutritional levels ever-present in his diet.

Is my dog tired of eating the same food?

Dogs do not get bored eating the same food every day. Studies have shown that because they have less taste buds ( 1700) compared to humans (9000) they don't appreciate different tastes like we do. While you might expect dogs to get bored eating the same food all the time, most are happy with the same routine.

Do dogs get tired of eating the same food everyday?

No. Dogs actually have fewer taste receptors compared to humans. That means they have less of an urge to eat something different every day. So your dog will not get bored of eating the same food every day.

Can I feed my dog 2 different brands of food?

Only mix foods for the same species and life stage (i.e. don't mix dog and cat food, or puppy and adult food together). Make sure both foods are nutritionally complete and balanced, with similar nutrient profiles.
