Donating YT 1000 Club Member | I had the same problem, you need to introduce the new food "very slow" otherwise you'll have that problem. I would go back to his original food, once he is fine, start the process all over again, this time even slower, it will take a few weeks.

| Uhm, I don't know, but I think 4 months is a little young to start on adult food. I did a post just a few weeks ago, and many here recommend to feed adult food when they're 10 months - 1 year old. I personally plan to start mixing their food with adult when Mocha is 11 months old. |

| I've Switched Foods.... ....since he wasn't eating at all and would turn his nose up and walk away. He's been on 6-8+ types of foods. Now he's on Royal Cainine. Anyways, I did it slowly when I did switch. I put in 25% (or less) of the new and 75% (or more) of the old. It took 3-4 weeks before he would be totally switched, if we even got that far. He picked out the new and left the old. But the boy finally likes the Royal Cainine which is for picky eaters I am told. |

| I didn't know that they had a specific type for pups in the Royal Cainie Brand. I use that but it is for all, pups and adults. It has directions on the back how much to give as far as their weight goes. I just checked the package and never noticed it before, but it is for Yorkshire Terriers over 10 months. Mine just recently turned 1 year old. Is there different types of Royal Cainine~? |
