When they wont eat or are tired of what they are eating you switch it up ,or rotate the food to another food ,right? So how gradual do you have to switch if you are rotating from one to another ( and then maybe back again) in the same brand ...like for instance say I am giving BB wilderness kibble and she wont eat it because she is bored , so I try the BB lamb...do I have to go gradual with the switch again , again or is O.K. to switch over quicker because it is in the same brand family....am I making any sense

Thanks

I swear I am trying to figure this out so I wont keep up with the 1000 questions! Going without a dog for so many years has affected my ability to think on a dog related level It was so much easier when I was oblivious and feeding bad kibble ..... Darn it , I had to go and start caring
Haha BIG at 10lbs? Mine are 10 and 13lbs and I call them my tiny dogs.

I don't have a great answer for you for that question. The lady I buy my food from told me that if you were switching in between flavors of the same brand, you don't need to do a gradual switch. I always do anyway - simply because I'd rather be safe than sorry and not have to deal with upset tummies (i.e. diarrhea and vomit). I do switch faster when it's the same brand, but I still like a couple of days transition.
