Introduce a New Dog Food to a Picky Eater?

Hey everyone!

I’m in need of some advice. I’ve got a bit of a fussy eater on my hands—my dog can be so particular about his food! I’m planning to switch to a new dog food, but I’m worried about how to make the transition smooth for him. I’ve heard mixed opinions on the best way to do this, and I’m curious about your experiences.

Do you have any tips or tricks for introducing a new food without causing a fuss? Should I mix the new food with the old gradually, or is there a different approach that’s worked for you? Also, are there any specific signs I should look out for that might indicate he’s not adapting well?

Hi,

I have had to do many dog food changes over the years its best to do it slower over 14 days.
Start with 20% new dog food and 80% old dog food mixed together.
Then up to 40% new dog food on day 4, 60% old dog food and carry on upping the new dog food and lowering the old one every few days until they are only on the new one
