Pet's info: Dog | Toy Poodle | Female | unspayed | 6 years and 9 months old | 7 lbs
Is the switch in food giving my dog a bit more energy? I recently changed her food from hill's science diet to blue buffalo...since the switch she is more interested in playing than before...she mostly just slept and did play but very rarely. I can only think the food might be what is helping because i have not done anything different but she went from playing once in a blue moon to playing every day and playing with toys.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It could absolutely be the food. Food gives the body nutrients and fuel to function and can certainly make a dog feel better when it is the right one. Glad that that is working for you. Have a good night!
