just got home from the vet and they gave me entyce for my dog, sprinkles, who's a picky eater. partner says it'll turn her into a chowhound, but i'm skeptical. anyone else’s dog actually love this stuff, or should i just invest in bacon-flavored everything

Hi there! I totally understand your concern about Sprinkles and her eating habits. Entyce is an appetite stimulant that's designed to help dogs who aren't eating enough start taking more interest in food. While it might make her more enthusiastic about her meals, don't worry—it won’t turn her into a full-time chowhound! Each dog reacts differently, so it's great that you’re keeping a close eye on her.

Here’s what you can expect and what to watch for:

• Normal reactions: You might notice an increase in Sprinkles' appetite fairly quickly after starting Entyce, often within a few hours. She might seem more interested in food and sniff around a bit more.
• Possible side effects: Some dogs may experience mild side effects like nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. If you notice these, they usually resolve quickly. You can give her plenty of fresh water and encourage rest.
• When to be concerned: If Sprinkles shows severe vomiting, persistent diarrhea, signs of an allergic reaction like swelling or difficulty breathing, or if she becomes lethargic, these can be more serious and you should contact your vet.

No need to rush to buy an arsenal of bacon-flavored foods just yet. Try the Entyce for a bit and see how Sprinkles responds. Remember, if she's eating better, that's a win!

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.
