| Sorry for being a pest I went to the pet shop at lunch and got Innova dry and Innova wet. The guy said to ween him off the eukanuba slowly. So give him some of the innova wet with the dry and some eukanuba. Pray for me that he eats tonight. I am also going to separate them when they eat. My husband said he knows he was bad this morning so he is being very quiet and good today. Thanks for all your help, I love this little man and dont want to give him up. |

Luvs Lulu Donating Member | you usually mix 80% of the old with about 20% of the new food. Slowly migrate up to a larger portion of the new. That way there is less tummy upset.

| Try mixing 80% of the old food with 20% of the new food for 2-3 days, then switch to a 60:40 ratio for a couple days, then a 40:60 ratio for a couple days, then a 20:80 ratio and finally 100% new food. The whole process should take about 1 1/2 to 2 weeks. This is what I've did whenever I've had to switch food with my two. Its time consuming to measure it out everyday but it is totally worth it..not having runny poo is good thing

| The canned innova makes my Lily very sick but she does great on the dry Innova I have noticed such a difference in her with this food. Her coat is so nice.
