Question
I am adopting a 14 month old beautiful baby girl tomorrow and I am wanted to make sure I start on the right diet I am very picky with my other 3 dogs (2 golden's & a min pin)and I know that she will require something different. any help would be appreciated.

Answer
Hi Anita,

I'm not quite sure what your question is...Basset's don't require a specific diet, assuming she's healthy, so whatever you're feeding your other three should be fine.

Just be sure to change her food over a 3 week period.  Buy a bag of whatever she's currently eating and mix in what you'd like to feed her at a ratio of 75/25 for a week.  Next week go 50/50 and the week after 25/75.  By the fourth week you're good to go with feeding her the food of your choice as a complete diet.

Good luck with her!
