Transition between two brands of kibble<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

When changing brands of kibble, it is important to do so gradually to avoid digestive problems. Here is a 20-day transition plan:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Days 1 to 3: 90% old+ 10% new.<\/li>\n
  2. Days 4 to 6: 80% old + 20% new.<\/li>\n
  3. Days 7 to 9: 70% old + 30% new.<\/li>\n
  4. Days 10 to 12: 60% old + 40% new.<\/li>\n
  5. Days 13 to 15: 50% old + 50% new.<\/li>\n
  6. Days 16 to 18: 30% old + 70% new.<\/li>\n
  7. Days 19 to 20: 20% old + 80% new.<\/li>\n
  8. From day 21 onwards: 100% new dry food.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Switching from puppy kibble to adult kibble<\/h2>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Around 10 to 12 months: start replacing puppy dry food with dry food suitable for adult dogs.<\/p>\n

    Continue feeding two meals per day even after switching to adult dry food.<\/p>\n

    Important: provide fresh water for the dog at all times.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
