I must be the luckiest corgi owner in the world. Huw must have a tummy of steel. Huw has not had any problems with poops. They have been formed and regular for the last 10 weeks. Even after vet visits, shots, traveling and staying at other homes, AND, much to my surprise, the three buffet style meals he's had with cat food. The worse was just earlier this week. daddy wasn't watching him at a friends house, and Huw got into the free feeding cat dish. You'd think that with the amount he ate, it would have upset his tummy for a few days. Nope, after he threw it up, his poops were still as normal as ever.

As for Emma, a number of factors could play the part. Did you transition to the new food gradually? Is she on the adult or puppy formula? The spaying and recovery could also be a factor; anesthesia isn't always good for the tummy. Often times finding the right food is a chore and can take a few different brands. The problem with food, is any quick change will cause upset tummys. It could feasibly take one year to try 3-4 different foods. Talk with your vet, read the labels and don't jump to the conclusion that it's not working right away, give it a chance, she may just need a few more weeks of adjustment.
