I’m serving my dog The Nutro™ Company as part of a sponsored series with Socialstars. #HonestToDog
The beauty of a meal plan for your family is that you can choose your favorites, try new dishes, and have a plan of action for those busy nights, right? What about your family’s dog? Have you considered what it’s like to have the same thing, every single day, even multiple times a day? It gets boring! It loses it’s appeal, and even though it’s still great quality and all the nutrition they need, there’s no way the same dog kibble over and over again is a life of excitement for any dog. We “foster failed” on Marilyn – she came to us from a rescue who saved her from a really bad situation. When we give her new foods or new treats, I often wonder if it’s the first time she’s had that new flavor, that new texture. She’s always a little timid to try something new, and she doesn’t like when you toss treats her way, so we have to approach her gently.
That’s why NUTRO™ ROTATIONS™ is a fantastic choice if you want to mix things up! After you’ve transitioned your dog from their current food to NUTRO™ ROTATIONS™ (you know, slowly over time mixing in the old with the new until it’s 100% new food), you can freely rotate between the three NUTRO™ ROTATIONS™ flavors!
When rotating the flavors, you can just freely go from one to the other with no digestive disruption – something all dog owner’s have faced when changing foods! When we started fostering Marilyn we had to transition her from the rescue’s food to ours that we were feeding our other two dogs, and luckily we had no issues with it. I’ve heard stories from other pet owner’s about their dogs having vomiting, constipation and other issues when switching foods. I’ve always done it slowly, with just a few pieces of the new food at first and then going 90/10, 80/20, 70/30, etc to gradually switch and have time to watch for any adverse reactions.
I just want to say, trying to get pictures of a camera-shy dog is next to impossible even when you have a bowl of delicious food for them! Marilyn totally knows what the camera is – I even tried my phone – and she was so hesitant to eat with me around. As soon as I walked away, she was eating happily! We feed her seperately from the other two, mainly because everyone is on a different food for various reasons. She has her own little spot for her food and water so I had to “stalk” her for photos!
If you’re like us and treat your pets like family, then why not give them some extra flavor at mealtime? Another great thing about NUTRO™ ROTATIONS™ is that they are grain-free and use non-GMO ingredients! Not only are you giving them a great tasting food, you are feeding them a brand that prides themselves on having quality ingredients. What you feed your dog is important- real food, real ingredients, ingredients you can pronounce.
We have no idea what Marilyn ate before she was rescued. Was it a good quality food? Was she fed enough? It’s my responsibility now that she’s a part of our family to feed her – and to feed her well. Good food, portioned to keep her healthy, and plenty of water to stay hydrated. She’s my baby!
Have you ever considered or wondered how your dog feels eating the same thing over and over? Mix it up with NUTRO™ ROTATIONS™ and let them have a new flavor every week, every other night, or even a new flavor at every meal!
