| Changing Food I apologize for not searching for an older thread, but I'm having computer issues and I don't have the patience to fight the internet. Anyway, I'm chaning Elliott from Iams SmartPuppy to Blue Buffalo Puppy. The BB bag says to do it over a two week period, but a lot of what I've seen has said that one week is enough time to get him transitioned. For those who have switched foods, how long did you wait? Thanks. |

| I have always done it over a two week period but my vet once told me that a few days is sufficient time for a transition. I guess like anything else it all depends on your dog and its stomach tolerance. Good choice to switch foods. Best wishes! |

| I can never switch foods properly because Jackson just spits out the old kibble, and only eats the new. LOL. But I think 1 week would be sufficient enough unless your boy has a really sensitive stomach.
