Here is what you need to do to ensure a smooth transition to a new dog
food:
Day One: Start by mixing your old brand with the new brand in a ratio
of 3/4 to 1/4 - the smaller amount representing the new brand. Do this
for three days.
Day Four: After your dog has eaten the 3/4 to 1/4 mixture for three
days, graduate to half and half for another three days.
Day Eight: For the last three days, go to a 3/4 to 1/4 mixture, only
this time the smaller amount is the old brand of food.
By the end of the 12 days, your dog should be ready to eat the new
food on its own.
If your dog is currently on a special diet, consult with your vet
first before switching to a different brand of dog food.
One of the most important parts of keeping your dog healthy is to make
sure his mouth and teeth are cared for. Proper oral hygiene is
critical for dogs of all ages. And the older your dog gets, the more
important it is to keep plaque and tartar off the teeth. In fact, not
caring for your dog's teeth is a much bigger deal than just yellow
teeth or bad breath. It can lead to serious health problems. A
positive step toward this very important aspect of maintaining your
dog's dental health is feeding healthy treats such as Gourment Dental
Treats from HealthyPetNet....

Alternatively, you could avoid this kind of human-made problem from the
outset by feeding a variety of food.
