After we got Magic and Socks home we had them on the same food as their previous owner had them on (adult Pets@Home food) We also kept them on the same water was they were on before them came home with us, we did this by filling up 2 litre bottles of water with the water from the taps where they came from (a few hours drive away) to prevent upset stomachs. Unfortunately within 48 hours both puppies had the runs 😦
We had them booked into the vets and the vet recommended we feed them freshly boiled chicken and rice (cooled). After less than 6 hours of them wolfing this new type of food down their stools had improved massively and they were feeling a lot more satisfied with their food – the energy increase was huge! Our puppies were much more playful and full of themselves which was great to see.
After a week of them eating this food (they ate better than us!) we decided the time was right to start swapping them onto puppy food, they had had their vaccinations a few days previously so we waited till they had recovered from that ordeal. we started by adding puppy food into their chicken and rice to see how they coped. merging the food worked very well, They enjoyed the food and their faeces stayed a good consistency so we added 20% each day and by the end of the week we had to puppies on 100% puppy food – Perfect!!
The puppy food we decided to feed them was the Wellbeloved Turkey and Rice puppy food. I would highly recommend this food to anyone who has had puppies with tummy issues. Its cheapest from http://www.Amazon.com too 🙂
For training treats we are using a piece of their daily kibble food and that is working great! We don’t want to risk giving them treats so soon after getting their stomachs back on track.
We are so proud of our pups 🙂
