Oh no I have NO intentions of doing this in a way that will upset her or her little stomach. In fact I'm transitioning her
WAY slower than even what you suggested. I'm going by what
South East Texas Yorkies - Home suggested, with her puppy care guidelines. Which are:
Day 1 - 3: Fill your dog's bowl with 75% of his old food and 25% of the new formula. Give your puppy 2cc of Nura Cal
Day 4 - 6: Mix the old food and the new premium formula in a 50/50 ratio.
Day 7 – 10: Feed your dog a mixture that's 75% new premium formula and 25% old formula.
Day 11: Feed 100% of the new premium formula.
We're on day 3 right now. So far nothing unusual yet. Our biggest hurdle is that she doesn't like to eat much, so while she's not only eating the new kibble she's certainly not eating a lot of her "old" food. So even though I'm trying to transition her slowly, by proxy (with her eating almost all of the new and at times very little of her old) she's making it a bit quicker. Oh well.
