A few months ago, we decided to switch Speckles\u2019 dog food to something higher in quality. Just like humans, what dogs eat greatly affects their physical health and well-being for either better or worse. That\u2019s why I wanted to feed her food from Petcurean<\/a>, a family-owned Canadian company that uses quality ingredients. But, as most dog owners know, changing dog food brands can be a huge deal. Some dogs have sensitive stomachs that can\u2019t handle different formulas or combination of ingredients. Others are super picky and won\u2019t eat anything except their usual. We were concerned about both issues when it came to Speckles.<\/p>\n

Changing Dog Food Brands & Varieties<\/h3>\n

When Speckles was younger, we only feed her kibble with chicken in it. We tried food with other meat bases but she got sick and threw up. We have to be careful about the calories too. Speckles gains weight like crazy\u00a0with even the tiniest change in ingredients or portion amount. It has been challenging to find dog food brands\u00a0that can keep her satisfied without adding add the pounds. Plus, she LOVES to eat and seems to have no internal gauge to limit her eating. Take a peek at how she reacts when she’s made to wait before eating.<\/p>\n
