Many thanks.

The vet suggested that we changed diet for our dog.
Oh, no! You don't want this one. The other two are the correct ones -- not this one. Suggestions are somewhat like weakened imperatives, so you typically use the bare infinitive, the same as you would use for the imperative. This is regarded as the subjunctive form by many grammarians.
