food change

Now I know that changing foods can upset a dog's tummy & we have to do it gradually. But now Katy has turned 1 i'm planning to put her on to big girls food as we are running low on puppy. She is on wainwrights puppy & I want to just change to adult wainwrights do I still need to introduce it gradually?

i would change it gradually jen if it was me just to save upset tummys,i guess the protein levels ect would be different  

Yes, I'd probably do it gradually as well.

Thanks girls, that's what I thought but wanted to check as I don't want to upset her tummy  

Just reading the topic (agree slow and steady...!) and just wanted to say I love your avatar pic Jen! Made me smile

Good luck with the food change let us know how it goes.

Awww big girl food, good luck  xx

i tried this exact same thing and it worked out badly.

Cass too was on wainwrights puppy food, i changed him to adult at 12 months and his body just couldn't take to it. i tried to slowly introduce it and he just couldn't hold it in, which is very unusual for him, he never goes to the toilet indoors.
maybe it's too rich, i don't know, but the adult wainwrights just didn't agree with him so i took him off it.

Moved your post to Staffy Dog Food.

Any change of food should be done gradually over the course of 7 - 10 days.

Steviec - It could have been the food was to rich for your dog.
