Hi everyone! I bought my new pup Molly home on Sunday and whilst crate training is going well, my main problem is food - she is so fussy. she is now refusing to eat the food the breeder had her on and despite mixing it with a new variety, she just picks out the new kibbles and leaves the old ones! I’m starting To worry that she isn’t getting the right nutrition because she isn’t eating enough so I think I have no choice but to move her fully on to the new food Straight away but I know this is not recommended as this can cause tummy issues. Any advice?
Hi Emma, Congratulations on Molly. If she isn't interested in the old food then yes just switch her. It might cause a little bit of loose stools until her tummy settles but she is obviously not keen on it and it is more important she is eating enough for her growing body. If she does have a little bit of a funny tummy, you might need to make more toilet trips, if she does have an accident make sure she isn't told off as it isn't her fault.
