How to feed a Pomeranian in its new home?

Is It Normal for a Dog’s Stomach to Rumble Loudly?
A rumbling dog stomach is usually the normal sound of intestinal movement, medically called 'borborygmi.' As food passes through, the gut contracts and expands, producing the noise. But improper diet, extreme hunger, sudden food changes, gas-producing foods, or intense exercise can make it louder. If the rumbling comes with soft stool, diarrhea, vomiting, obvious bloating, frequent hiccups, lethargy, or poor appetite, the gut is likely troubled—see a vet promptly.

Kittens often get loose stools at season changes because shifts in temperature, humidity, and pressure stress sensitive cats and upset gut flora, worsened by cold bellies and abrupt diet changes. Keep them warm, keep the diet simple, and add a probiotic (Bacillus subtilis, Saccharomyces boulardii); if diarrhea is watery, bloody, smelly, with lethargy or other signs beyond 3 days, see a vet.
