Your dog’s recent digestive issues could be linked to the dietary changes you’ve made, particularly if they coincide with the introduction of raw boosters and instinct foods. It’s crucial to monitor her symptoms closely to ensure her health and comfort.
- Sudden diet changes can lead to digestive upset in dogs.
- Introduce new foods gradually to avoid gastrointestinal issues.
- Consult a vet if symptoms persist or worsen.
When you introduce a new diet, like raw boosters or instinct foods, your dog’s digestive system needs time to adjust, which can sometimes lead to temporary discomfort. It’s advisable to make dietary transitions slowly by mixing increasing amounts of the new diet with the old diet over a week or two. If symptoms persist or worsen, it's important to examine other causes, such as underlying health conditions or allergies.
