Excellent!

I have seen man cases over the years where the dog is rescued, comes into the new home, and there are a comination of factors including the change of diet as well as anxiety which limits their interest in food.

With that in mind, it would be best to use only a balanced commercial dog.

This is well balanced for vitamins and minerals which a dog needs.

As they get used to the new family and new house, this is going to get easier over time, but like anything in in life - you need to train them, food too!

Typically here we start with a mixture of what they will eat, and the diet you want thme to eat - a balance of the two.

Over 1-2 weeks as they get used to the mixture, gradually reduce the improper diet and increase the commercial diet until they are only eating the commercial diet.

I hope this helps! Please REPLY if more information is needed.
