Read Teacup Poodle Ep.9 (Constipation of Teacup Dogs)
other reasons for your teacup dogs to be constipated may be because
they have been eating too much solid foods (such as bones)
outside his/her normal dry dog food.
(^.^did you guess it right?)
it’s perfectly normal for an owner to wish to provide
better quality of dog food, such as dog food imported
from overseas or health-oriented, to their teacup dogs when he/she
has become more financially capable of achieving so.
when money isn’t the problem, the only thing that concerns owners
is that the teacup dogs just wouldn’t eat the new food.
yet most owners are uncertain if it’s because of the taste
or less-greasy texture that’s putting them off from
showing an interest at these expensive dog foods.
how should i encourage them to eat?
Teacup Poodle Guideline 10 : Food Switching Tips
we suggest all teacup dog owners to change foods gradually at a
ratio of ___?___ : ___?___ (new food – old food) to start off,
increase the percentage of new food slowly
(the process usually takes up to one week).
do NOT throw away their old food entirely and change to
new ones all of a sudden otherwise it’s very likely to cause
diarrhea and vomiting in teacup dogs.
additionally, we need to remind owners not to change the foods
too often after the developing stage of teacup dogs as frequent changes
in food types may lead to selective appetite, stomach intolerance
and/or food allergy in teacup dogs.
