When we first got Sheldon I feed him the same food the rescue group was giving him for about 2 weeks, I wanted to make his transition to his new home as easy for him as possible since there were so many changes already.
Also I would know how much he was eating, how he was pooping, any signs of upset tummy, etc.
After the 2nd week and mixed 3/4 of old food with and 1/4 of new food for about 2 days, then 1/2 and 1/2 for another 2 days, until he was on the new food 100%.
This was advised by the vet, my friend who is a vet tech and the ladies at the store
Good luck with the new puppy! |
