- Your dog needs time to adjust to a new dog food, so it’s better to introduce it gradually over a week or so. If your dog has a very sensitive stomach, you may need to take a bit longer.
- Changing between different varieties of the same range can be done more quickly, as many of the ingredients will be the same, although sensitive dogs may still need a gradual change.
- Different foods can have dramatically different feeding amounts, so make sure to check the guide on the packaging of the new food, as both over-feeding and under-feeding can lead to health problems.
