3) Canned
food. For animals that are accustomed to dry food, canned food may perk up the
appetite. Mix small amounts of canned food with the dry food first as large quantities
of canned food can cause diarrhea in pets that normally get dry food.
4) Changing brands
or flavors of food. Moving to a higher quality and/or more palatable food may stimulate
a pet's appetite. Again, mix small amounts of the new food with the regular food to
avoid diarrhea
