When I got Sadie I gave her several kinds of food at first and many different kinds of treats, and never bothered to transition anything. She had the runs maybe ONE day when she was a puppy. After a few months we switched to raw. She seems to have an iron stomach, she eats all sorts of people foods, any treats people give her, etc.
As contrast, my friend's dog who has only eaten one brand of food since it came to him, and generally 3 brands of treats, will throw up if she eats a different treat.
I know this is not an excellent sample, but it seems to me to make sense that if you get the dog used to many different foods when it's a pup, it won't have such trouble as an adult.
Anyone have any thoughts on this? Or anecdotes about similar situations?
When I get the next dog I am going to do the same thing and try to expose him to as many different foods as a pup. If we expose them to all sorts of surfaces and people, why not food?
