You will learn how to switch your dogs food gradually without upsetting digestive system.
Remember before changing any dog food,consult your veterinarian.
Always provide plenty of fresh water.
Also be very patient as sometimes the dog may not like the new type of dog food, so you may need to try more than one for a picky pooch. I learned this from my own picky poochs!!!!

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • PREVIOUSLY USED DOG FOOD ENOUGH FOR A MONTH.
  • NEW BRAND OF DOG FOOD
  1. Step 1

    WEEK ONE; During the first week you will need to add about 1/4 new brand to 3/4 old brand.

  2. Step 2

    WEEK TWO: During the second week you will add 1/2 new brand to 1/2 old brand.

  3. Step 3

    WEEK THREE: The third week add 3/4 cup new brand to 1/4 old brand.

  4. Step 4

    FOURTH WEEK: Then finally on the fourth week you can switch to all the new brand dog food.

  5. Step 5

    And Finally your dog should be used to or getting used to the new brand of dog food. There are lots of great dog foods in your grocery, feed stores, and/or pet shops, as well as your veterinarians office. If you have a picky pooch, start out buying the small bags, until you find the right food for him/ her.
