Trowing up after food switch

[Iggypup]

Hi, I just recently switched from Nutro to Natural Balance Fish and Sweet Potato for both my dogs. I just found out how bad Nutro is. They actually still have some Nutro mixed in so it isn't 100% NB yet. They both love it. The one problem is that our boy, who is almost 6, has thrown up 2 mornings after his breakfast this week. They eat twice a day and have been eating this mix for about a week and he has only thrown up 2 mornings. He is not eating it too fast and not playing rowdy afterwards or before. It is mucus and undigested food. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Throwing up undigested food would tend to indicate that the food doesn't suit the dog very well. Whatever the quality of ingredients, there is no food yet invented that suits every individual!

Since you're only part way into the switch, however, it may be worth continuing for a bit and seeing whether or not he adjusts. Some dogs do have a bit of trouble with food changes, especially if they've been eating the same food for a long period of time. If he doesn't adjust in time though, then you would probably need to look for an alternative for him.

Thanks for the Reply!

Thanks, He's done it once more, but not as much volume as before. Maybe he's getting use to it. Thanks again!
