[nagdu] flying, changes, and vet visit

[Cindy Ray]

Well, first of all, your trainers are talking about normal times. I would do what the vet said. Not sure why boiled chicken and cottage cheese, but I've used cottage cheese and I've used lean hamburger. You give them that and, at least what I did, was gradually rework in the regularly scheduled food as the dog seemed to be better.
