Hey there! Sounds like Luna is having a cozy time with you on the couch. 😊 To answer your question: Purina Pro Plan is generally considered a good choice for dog food. It's a well-balanced diet with options tailored for different ages, sizes, and specific health needs. Of course, every dog is unique, so keeping an eye on how Luna reacts is important.
Here's what you might want to watch for when introducing a new food:
- Normal Adjustment: A little digestive upset might happen at first as Luna adjusts. Minor changes like softer stools or increased gas can be normal.
- Symptoms to Watch: Vomiting, diarrhea, skin rashes, itchiness, or any sign of lethargy. These could mean the food doesn't agree with her.
- Emergency Signs: Severe vomiting, persistent diarrhea, swelling, or trouble breathing are red flags. Call a vet immediately if you notice these.
As for home care:
- If you notice mild tummy troubles, make sure Luna has plenty of water and give her some time to adjust before switching back to her old food.
- Monitor any reactions closely. If you don't see improvement or things seem to get worse, it's best to reach out to a vet.
Switching foods over a week by gradually mixing in the new with the old can help reduce tummy troubles.
If you're unsure or your pet’s symptoms worsen, it's best to book a call with a vet on Dial A Vet for professional advice.
The "Ask a Vet" forum on Dial A Vet offers general information and helpful tips on pet health, but it's
not a substitute for professional veterinary care. The advice here doesn't create a veterinarian-client-patient relationship, and our vets can't diagnose or treat your pet remotely.
For emergencies or specific medical concerns, always contact your local veterinarian immediately.
