Puppy vs wet canned food?
My puppy is 9 weeks. I made the mistake of mixing some "puppy" canned food with her dry kibble since she wasn't eating her dry kibble. She ate almost everything and then later today she had diarrhea. When is it okay to feed a puppy wet canned food? Before I got her, she was fed a tablespoon or 2 of plain yogurt, would it be okay to mix that in with her kibble instead of the canned food?

The canned food is completely fine to give her. It was just more rich than she's used to which is why she had diarrhea. You should gradually mix it in so she gets used to it.
Yogurt is also fine to mix in.

If she's not used to having canned food, it probably just upset her stomach. If your puppy really is only nine weeks old, she should be on formula and not dry kibble.
Either way, it's probably just an upset stomach. Keep her hydrated and if doesn't seem to be improving in 24 hours, she should be checked by a vet to make sure it's not something more serious like an inflamed pancreas.
Hope this helps.

Possibly you gave her to much and the wet food was too rich for her belly. If you mix the wet food in small amounts increasing to the amount you wish to feed her, that will decrease the chances of upset tummys.
Yoghurt is fine to mix in with her dry food.

A tablespoon of yogurt is a much better option than wet food. It is also what she is used to so will be less likely to cause issues.
