Veronica Kannen kindly emailed her experience: "Bringing Pringles home for the first time was so much because he was so spooked. It took him about a month to be totally relaxed, the cat didn't help either ..... she's kind of a bully. One thing though that really stressed me out was that he didn't poop for almost two days. And like, searching everywhere online most places said he would have to soon or it might be explosive when I was at work. I found this article about how to help when a pup gets backed up that really saved me and my carpet. I actually gave him some warm chicken broth and also some pumpkin and chicken mash and it was almost instantly successful. I know some people have the opposite issue but I figure the tip can help since it's just simple foods. Once we cleared that obstacle it was really just keeping him feeling loved and relaxed in his new home (even though my cat Sushi was honestly awful to him) I made my bedroom home base and let him relax without her meddling. I found this article on transitioning a pup into a new space also pretty helpful since it's focused on older dogs and Pringles is around five. With lots of love and treats he warmed up a bunch it just was a bit of a process, hope these can help others like me who are adopting older pups since labs are just so sweet."
