| Switch 100% or keep going gradually? Well Sasha absolutely loves the Solid Gold Wee Bits that I've been switching her over to. She actually picks over the Nutro and seems to always just want to eat the Solid Gold. I've been mixing the food for about 5 days now. She doesn't seem to be having any problems with the Solid Gold (no diarheaa, no throwing up, etc.) and when I had first mixed in the Solid Gold, like I said in the beginning, all she wanted to eat was the Solid Gold. Since she doesn't really seem to be having any problems with the switch over, I'm thinking about just giving her 100% Solid Gold now. Do you think it's a good idea or should I still keep mixing the foods for awhile longer? |

| That is my reason for switching Sasha over to Solid Gold. I've been mixing in a little more Solid Gold each day. I've read from different places that mixing in new food should be done within a 3-4 week process, but what I'm wondering is since she's taking to the Solid Gold so well, can I just completely stop mixing in the Nutro or should I still continue to keep gradually mixing them together, adding a little more Solid Gold each time. She's doing great with the Solid Gold...always wants to eat it and goes around the Nutro, no potty problems, not getting sick...I just want to stop using the Nutro asap because of all the problems I've read about it. |

| My yorkies always pick out the new food when I switch them. So there's really no point in me mixing it together. They've always been fine. |

| I just started solid gold wee bits yesterday. Mine love it. I have a few days left of their current food so I just mixed some together. I had also bought another bag of the old for the switch over but I am going to return that because I think they will be fine by the time my mix is gone. I know this doesn't answer your question but kinda backs up what others are saying
