How do I switch my dog to a new dry food?
Switch your dog to a new dry food gradually, mixing in increasing amounts of the new food over time. Start by feeding 75% of the old food and 25% of the new food for the first few days, then increase to a 50-50 ratio for the next two or three days. Then, proceed to feeding 75% of the new food for a few days, graduating to 100% after about a week or so. This gradual transition will be easier on your dog's digestive system and help ensure he doesn't refuse the new dry food formula.
