Mix the new food with your pet's former food,gradually increasing the proportions until the new food is fed. Most pets readily accept new foods,but some are mor reluctant than others to give up what's familiar to them. If your pet does not easily switch,you may want to try one or more of the following suggestions. Warm the canned diets to,but not above,body temperature. A drop of warm water poured over the food may be all that is needed.
Hand feed the new diet for the first few days.
Mix the dry diet with small amount of water and wait 10 minutes before serving. Puppyhood is a time of rapid growth and development. As such, puppies require nearly double the amount of nutrients per pound of food than do older dogs. Puppies need higher levels of nutrients that are not available in regular dog food. Because of their special nutritional needs, your puppy should only receive puppy food for the first year.
