New Puppy Guide

New Puppy Guide

Keeping your puppy on the same food for the first 30–60 days removes one avoidable source of diarrhea and makes other causes easier to identify. Diet consistency does not prevent coccidia or Giardia, so new symptoms should still be discussed with your veterinarian.

Use the same food during the first 30–60 days unless your veterinarian recommends a change.
