• Beth Posted : 8/25/2006 8:56:42 PM Does he have dandruff with the scratching? He could have walking dandruff, which is actually very treatable. Revolution would take care of this, your vet would have to do a skin graph to test for this. Have it checked, if he has this, you have to treat your other dog too. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Beth Posted : 8/25/2006 9:07:32 PM That is good.  You can switch a puppy over in a week, I don't think it would be a problem. How old is Cinnabun? 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Edie Posted : 8/25/2006 9:35:51 PM If you want to do a transition,do it as quickly as possible as the less time spent on that food,the better! Personally,i would'nt bother at all,i would put him straight onto the new food.I've never fed what the breeders have,i've always started them on the food i wanted to feed from day one. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• tony Posted : 8/25/2006 9:48:24 PM If it is a puppy I would do it slow, a few days on that kibble is not a big deal that's what it's been weaned on, if it is a pup it will be going through a lot of stresses dealing with it's new environment, no need to add another to it. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Edie Posted : 8/25/2006 9:53:21 PM Oh boy! Coccidia,i can see why you're worried. Maybe just do it over a week then,by then he should be settled enough to be able to handle a full food change. Like i said,i've always done it straight away and have never had a problem.Granted,i have been extremely fortunate with my dogs when it comes to food and changes and such,i've never had a dog with a dodgy tummy(except if they've eaten something rank) and all have handled any food changes without blinking an eye,so it is hard for me to advise the gradulal transition of 200 weeks and 10% of this and 90% of that [][] 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Luvntzus Posted : 8/25/2006 9:58:50 PM Thanks Edie, it sounds like I'm going to need to wait at least a week.... I was reeeaaally hoping for some way to get around it, but apparently that way doesn't exist. [&:] Ah well, thank you everyone for your advice!!

• chelsea_b Posted : 8/25/2006 10:04:50 PM Anyway, Cinnabun has been eating Purina "healthy" morsels at his breeder's (it's a rainbow colored food)   No offense meant here, and I'm sure there's a reason, but why did you buy from a breeder that feeds such awful food? I'm really not trying to be snide or judgemental, I'm just honestly wondering because you're obviously well-informed in dog nutrition. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

You may not want to stress his body by forcing it to adjust to a completely different food all at once.

• kennel_keeper Posted : 8/26/2006 4:33:44 AM I would add a little yogurt in with the food "blend" while switching him over. That should help somewhat in the transition. What are you switching him too? 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
