As I re-reviewed some of my earlier posts I noticed one comment that needs to be corrected.
On April 30, 2011 I blogged that Stella's diet (and her sister Betty's) was being switched over to "grain free" dry kibble and "grain free" canned dog food. At that time we did attempt this dietary change but we only half succeeded.
We started to slowly incorporate the new dry kibble into their usual dry food over a period of 2 weeks until their dietary tracts were well adjusted. All went well and they loved the new food.
We then started to incorporate the canned food; at an even slower rate then the new kibble because we know that canned food is "richer". We gave the girls about a half teaspoon with their dinner time meal (they are fed twice a day; breakfast & dinner). Our goal was to end up feeding them half canned and half dry at each meal.
They both LOVED the canned food but it caused them both to have very loose runny stools. We thought perhaps it was just an adjustment period so after consulting with our regular vet and Stella's oncologist we cut the canned portion down even lower for the next few weeks to no avail. It was just not meant to be.
So both Stella & Betty have been on a grain free dry kibble diet ever since and are doing well on it.
