It sounds like your pup's upset stomach may be related to the recent change in supplements. This type of reaction can occur when transitioning to a new product.
- Consider reducing the dose of the new supplement and gradually increasing it.
- Track any other symptoms that might appear alongside the upset stomach.
- Consult your veterinarian if symptoms persist or worsen.
When you introduce a new supplement, it's not uncommon for some pets to experience digestive changes. Their systems sometimes need time to adjust to new ingredients or concentrations. It’s a good idea to introduce new supplements gradually by mixing them with their current ones over 7-10 days. This gradual change helps reduce digestive upset. If you're concerned about your pup's reaction, or if any severe symptoms develop, consult your veterinarian for advice on the best course of action.
