PostSubject: Switching Advice Needed   Thu Oct 06, 2011 6:38 pm

I am going to switch Chaos and Storm to a grain free food, how much should I mix to get them started, half new food or less. Also what about puppy food, with all the nutrients and protien does she still need puppy food. I am going to try Taste of The Wild. Can they both eat the same or should I go in a different direction.
Thanks for any help.

TOTW is an all stages food, you might want to feed her a hair more as the bag says i think. i don't think any of us really feed what the bag says i think most of us on TOTW feed our adults 2 cups of food a day, 1 cup in the morning and 1 cup at night. a lot of people do the gradual mix of foods to ease them into it. i think i only did it for like a few days or a week and then was full on TOTW. i also mix flavors of TOTW every bag and do a cold turkey switch or if im lucky i have some of the other flavor left and mix it a hair.

For Mya I normally do the switch within 2 or 3 days, but since Kody has such a sensitive tummy it takes about 2 weeks to fully transition over. I would start with 1/4 cup of the new food for a day or two, then up it to 1/3 cup, then 1/2, then 1 cup, etc. Honestly though, if they're doing fine on it after the 1/2 cup I would just totally switch over. Up to you.

Thanks, I still have about half a bag of the old so I will mix till that runs out and see how thats going, I did not know it was an all stages so thats a nice bonus. I totally agree with the little more than the bag says, Chaos is pretty active and normally just eats when he's hungry, the little one acts like I starve her and would eat all day I believe.
Once again thanks for your help

I feed Adobo & Biko, 2 cups each per day. More often then not Adobo eats only 1 1/2 cups. Unless your working the dogs they seldom need to be fed what the bag says. (they sell more that way)
