I recently bought an 8 month old Basset Puppy from a breeder. She's been eating IAMS Puppy, but she has allergies to it and is a tad skinny (33 lbs). So, I've been switching her to Canidae Life Stages slowly this week (just a small bit in her food and sometimes as a treat).
Yesterday, she stopped eating the IAMS and only wants the Canidae. She only eats the IAMS if I mix it really well and today she refused to eat at all any of the IAMS until she was starved late in the day (by then I caved and put in more Canidae). The breeder said she eats 3 cups of IAMS a day.I feed her in three meals to prevent bloat.
So, my question is tomorrow I'm going to get a larger bag of Canidae (it's an hour drive, but worth it!). I want to know how much she should be eating. Also, if I add in some canned Canidae daily how would that effect feeding amounts.
My other question -- since she only wants the Canidae can I stop the slow introduction and just switch? It's only been about 4 days.
