Default I want to give my dog Cesar dog food just for a day...?

as a treat.
He has been really good for a long time and its his birthday.
I know thats really stupid
And he got his shots today and has been pretty down sooo just to cheer him up.
If he really likes it then i might change his food to cesar
Is it bad for his stomach just to change like that
we have changed many times and he eats anything and everything and doesnt get sick (snakes, bugs random things he finds on the ground, turtles, poop ) iknow really gross!
Help!

Some, but not all, dogs have delicate digestive systems that can't handle such immediate switches. If you feed Nature's Variety, Wellness, Natural Balance, or another brand that makes both kibble and canned, you could feed canned for the birthday if you normally feed kibble, or a different flavor he doesn't normally get. For example, if he always eats canned beef or lamb but likes chicken, on his birthday give him canned chicken.

He won't die, but it can cause diarrhea. I think if it 's only a day he should be fine. I went on a short vacation with my dog and didn't have enough dogfood with me so I wasn't able to get his normal food. He was fine. He did have a little diarrhea. If you were going to completely change him to that brand I would say you should do it gradually.

I had to change my dog's food when I got her b/c the old stuff was making her sick, and she didn't have a problem. But every dog is different.

You might want to try just giving him half and half for his meals today to see if he likes it. That way it can't upset his tummy and if he likes it then you can give him half and half for another day and then 3/4 Cesar and 1/4 the other kind the next day and then all Cesar should be fine after that.

You can never tell what will upset a dog's tummy, so it's better safe than sorry, you know.

Oh, and if you are looking for a dog food that he'd really like and would be good for him you might want to check out this site.

www.healthypetnet.com

I switched my dog to this b/c I found out the crap they put in commercial dog foods and only wanted to give my puppy the best. Besides, she wouldn't eat anything else, she loves this stuff. They will also send you a sample packet if you want to try it.

I'm glad you are wanting to give him something special, but also wanting to be careful to not make his tummy upset. Good luck, I hope he likes it.

The sudden change, if he eats much of it, may cause diarrhea.

How about a new toy or some treats instead?

I am not familiar with this food. However, when ever you are changing dog foods you want to do is slowly and mix them together and slowly wean out the old food. Just abruptly changing food can cause diarrhea or loose stool.

good luck, just do it slowly.
