There are generally two approaches to changing to new foods
Cold Turkey
I will often do this is the dog is already highly inflamed, has diarrhea, or seems to be just rock solid in their eating habits.
Fast for 1 day.
- Either no food for a day or a small amount of yogurt and honey if we need to keep something on the belly.
- Then the next day is simply the new meal(s).
10-days
For the very so-called “finicky” or those who are highly sensitive to changes
3/4 old food + 1/4 new for 3 days
1/2 old food + 1/2 new food for 3 days
1/4 old food + 3/4 new food for 3 days
By day 10 you’re fully switched.
