Updated on September 23, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Female | unspayed | 11 months and 23 days old | 59 lbs

It is not recommended to try and dry kibble as once it has become wet it can start to ferment and go sour, increasing the risk of digestive disturbances. Try feeding smaller amounts and offering a second bowl if she eats the first to reduce waste and try changing brands to a more palatable version or flavour
