Be careful on changing her food, it should be done over a period of 7 to 10 days. if you feed kibble what I do is my Cody gets 1/3 cup of food at 7:AM and 1/3 cup at 5PM... Day one I take out 10 / 15 kibbles and replace with 10 / 15 kibbles of new food, at 5PM I repeat. Day 2 AM feeding 1/3 cup I take out 20 kibble and replace with 20 kibble of new food...PM feeding repeat AM amt. Day 3 1/3 cup of food,AM feeding I take out 25 kibble, replace with 25 new food, PM feeding repeat AM, I continue this until he is eating only the new food. It depends on how many kibbles 1/3 cup holds, that determines how many kibbles I take out and how many new kibbles I replace. Transition should be over a period of 7 to 10 days so as to not up set their digestive systems. I do a 10 day transition, 7 days is advised. If you feed wet canned food take out 1/2 TSP old old replace with 1/2 TSP new food and build up every day until they are eating just the new food.
