Gavin's dotage

Are there different "flavors" of his food? I only ask because Katy has never struggled with eating but recently has had issues with some of the Fromm 4 Star. However, when DH changes the type she seems to eat it. It is one of the things I like about this brand that we only started at the end of Bailey's life. I wonder if it might have kept him interested longer. Of course we may eventually run out of options but for now the rotations seem to keep her interested when she gets bored with the offering of the day.

 

Katy is the oldest dog I've ever had so its been a learning process. I ask just because we stumble on things and I've learned from reading other posts. One of the things that has worked for us with From is within the Fromm 4 Star we don't have to transition between flavors we can have A one day and B the next which we joke about as the girls have the regular flavors and then what DH will call "gourmet nights" of the smaller bags of different flavors he picks up to try out for them. Everyone has preferred brands and I'm not here to push one it's just the one we settled on as Bailey was struggling before he passed and it seems to be doing well for Katy in her Senior years giving her options. Annie seems happy enough with it as well.

Since we got her from rescue Katy has been a prolific eater unless she's been sick, see the poop eating post. However the last month she's starting to get pickier about her food and it changes which is where the multiple flavor options has helped. DH will try a different flavor and she'll eat a full meal where she wouldn't take a piece of kibble from the flavor she might have just eaten for breakfast. We feed twice a day.

 

I know when we've switched brands in the past the vet did have us transition the dogs from A to B. Annie wasn't on Fromm when we got her from the breeder so we started adding Fromm to the food the breeder sent with her and moved her over to Fromm at the Vet's suggestion. I believe we did that with Katy as well although we weren't using Fromm at the time. Bailey stayed on what his Foster Mom had started him on moving from puppy to adult as I remember it until when he got sick we moved him to Fromm.

One thing I hadn't noticed with the previous brand were the different flavor options that we've had to keep Katy engaged. Bailey was good until his senior years without variety but I wish I had known more about changing it up for him.

 

Have you tried a tiny amount of Nutritional Yeast on his food? Humans can eat it, but it can be used as a topper for both dogs and cats. Here is some info on it if you are unaware... It says it has fiber in it too which I was unaware of, which could help with poos.
