Stop and call your vet if you see vomiting, blood in the stool, diarrhea lasting more than a day, or a puppy that refuses food — tiny dogs dehydrate and can drop their blood sugar quickly.

Keep total daily calories the same throughout: weigh the day's portion, then split it by the percentages above. General guidance for healthy dogs; follow your vet's plan for any prescription or sensitive-stomach diet. Educational only.
