This is how I transition, may be crazy but it has worked on 7 dogs that I have had. Better to be safe then sorry is my motto. Cody is 3 y/o, not a puppy. I feed him twice a day, he eats 1/3 cup of kibble at each feeding. I COUNT how many kibbles fit in 1/3 cup. Lets say 30 kibbles fit in 1/3 cup, I will take out 2 kibbles and replace with 2 new kibbles, this is for morning and evening meal. Next day I take out 3 old replace with 3 new. Day 3 repeat, take out 3 old, replace with 3 new. Day 4 take out 4 old, replace with 4 new. Day 5, take out 5 old, add 5 new. Day 6, repeat day 5. Day 7take out 7 old, add 7 new. Day 8, take out 8 old add 8 new. Day 9, take out 9 old, add 9 new. Keep taking out and replacing until he is eating only new food. It's a very slow process, but has worked for me, Keep a log if you have to. Just a piece of paper with how many pieces of kibble was removed and replaced. The slower the transition with a sensitive stomach the better it goes for the pup. Good luck
