Here are are my fluff babies DJ and Gunner (also called Lulu or Lou). They are mother and daughter. DJ is my baby and Gunner is a daddy's girl. They are approximately 9 years old and very spoiled!

This is DJ. She loves to be near me.

Miss Gunner Lou loves her catnip carrot

here's my baby!!!

if anyone has any tips transitioning from kibble to raw/dehydrated/freeze-dried diet please let me know! I am looking into brands like Stella & Chewy. Would love some input.

@shirleylin88 what a cutie!! 

a client of mine eats the stella and chewy patties, and she loves them. she was a very picky eater before her owner switched foods.

i second the mixing suggestion, and trying several different proteins. 

congrats on your new baby!

[shirleylin88]

aw thank you so much for the advice! I think that's what we will end up doing 🙂

OMG, @shirleylin88-  Your baby is just soooo cute!  If I had a puppy that cute I'd get nothing done all day, I'd be smooshing my face in the cute curly fur!

Congrats @shirleylin88!  Puppies are the best!

As far as transitioning foods - it's best if you can mix them slowly (mostly kibble, a little new food; then half and half; then a little kibble with mostly the new food). This helps prevent dogs from getting sick when you switch their foods, which you especially want to avoid with a little growing puppy.  I would also recommend rotating protein sources.  Dogs can develop food allergies and when I was researching my dog's allergies, rotating protein was recommended.  You don't have to rotate too often - they just recommended not always buying the same protein source.  Stella & Chewy's has a lot of options and switching "flavors" within the same brand shouldn't cause gastrointestinal upset (though keep an eye out for it just in case).

@kso1225 thank you for the insight into transitioning the food!

I recall there are a few bunny enthusiasts here. Thought I'd share a couple of updated photos of my two buns 🙂 

"The name's Bun...James Bun". 

"I'm ready for you to tuck me in now!"
