Hi! Since my country is placed under enhanced community quarantine, I only order groceries online. Unfortunately, the puppy food that I buy is out of stock. Is it okay to feed my pup a different brand and flavor or puppy food? Thank you so much :)

It may upset his stomach a little, but yes I would go ahead and feed him what you have. An upset stomach may occur, but you can give him a probiotic to hopefully help him tolerate the sudden switch. Over the counter Culturelle can be given to dogs and works almost as well as the pet formulated ones (i.e. Fortiflora or Proviable). Best of luck with your puppy and I hope that he likes and tolerates his new food ok. Take care.
