Feeding Puppies – Switching Diets From Canned Food To Kibble
Most puppies don’t experience any adverse reactions when shifting to kibble from canned food though it can prove difficult to others. Here are some tips to make the transition easier:
To make an easier transition to a new food/diet, it is best to introduce the new pet food in increments. To start, mix ¼ of the new pet food along with ¾ of the old pet food you usually give. Change the proportions in the next three to five days or so, slowly adding increments to the new food and giving less of the old food. Do this until your pet’s meal is composed of 100% of the new pet food.
It may not be appealing to your pup if the food has already been left for hours, so try giving only small increments and putting it away after half an hour. Offer fresh new pet food every 4-5 hours but do not give anything else except clean drinking water. During your dog’s transition to a new diet, do not offer leftovers and treats as giving in to your pup’s craving can only make the transition more difficult.
If you have concerns about your pet’s diet, contact your pet clinic Scottsdale AZ.

Cattitude
Cats can be hard to read sometimes. They tend to demand attention at some times, and refuse it at others. They are also likely the only one of our animal friends that sometimes bites us just for fun.
This can be a bit perplexing, as Fluffy can go from affectionate to feisty very quickly. It's important for you to know how to tell the difference between an angry cat and a frisky one. If your feline friend is really attacking aggressively, she may flatten her ears back, and she'll bite with a lot of force. If she's being playful or even affectionate, she'll likely bite gently. She may even stop biting you in order to lick you, rub her head against you, or just meow at you.
It's best if you don't encourage this type of bad behavior. If your cat tries to bite you, tell her 'No' in a firm tone. You can also say 'Put your claws up' or 'Don't bite.' Don't punish your cat, though: this may just make her feel threatened.
